As I understand it, Sony has been rawther proactive in closing PSP jailbreaks, especially since the PSP-3000 closed the service battery method. Unlike Nintendo, which takes three to six months to respond to a given jailbreak, Sony tends to have a new firmware version out within a week.
So? You don't have to apply them.
PSP-2000 is no longer available new, and I'd bet a lot of older ones have had firmware updates applied to them
I've facilitated the purchase of 6 of them in the past year (friends, girlfriend's kids, nephews) & haven't found one yet that was over 3.90 OFW.
Sometimes I want both a keyboard and a gamepad. For example, I might have a Z-machine text adventure on my card; how well does a PSP run those?
Fine. It's got a virtual keyboard, or you can just use an external IR keyboard.
And therein lies the punishment. Just because they have to charge more, doesn't mean their competitors such as Citgo & ExxonMobil have to charge more, thereby putting BP at a global disadvantage.
There's many features that make a Pandora desirable.
Did you miss the part where I said I wanted it to succeed?
If you want enough of them, its value shoots up far above other handhelds.
Yes & right now there is a $200 difference. No where near enough value for the cost compared to a cracked PSP Slim if all you want to do with it is play games.
My PSP does that & plays all my old PSX games. I got it for $100 used. True it's a little slower & doesn't have a touchscreen, but it works really good for what I need it for. I do hope the Pandora takes off however, I'd like to see every kind of consumer entertainment electronics with an open version legally available.
Yes, I'm sure the US Navy will allow for a piece of this top secret scramjet engine larger than 2" to be recovered by another country, especially after publicly announcing the tests to start with. That makes sooo much sense.
There are multiple accounts saying that BP cut corners when it came to oil rig safety. If this is the case then they need to be held criminally as well as financially accountable for their "accident". If this bankrupts them, so be it.
Neverwinter Nights is easy to get into, runs on Linux & older hardware, has a nice C like scripting language & has the capability to make simple or complex mods.

I'm sure nothing bad will come of this. Nosirree.
Well, I guess when anti-competitive practices fail.....
Either way you should hold off on the righteous indignation until you give up your opinions and educate yourself on the matter at hand.
And you should hold off on the spouting bullshit before until you know what the hell you are talking about.
Not that games are actually copyrightable, at least in the US (which is where this was filed; DMCA and all)
I'm afraid you are simply wrong. Any creative work in the US is copyrightable. You may be thinking of patentable.
You're God damn right we will be.
I hope that is at least $75 million + for each state affected.
Crap troll is crap.
Pirated!
He makes Bible-thumpers doubt their faith, therefor he is a tool of Satan, or some stupid crap like that.
Metal lunch box FTW!

I think you've just proven you're a user.
Uh, no kidding?
But can your PSP play N64 games?
Uh, yes? I'm sure it's slow, but there you go.

Can it browse the web
Yes again, PSP have been able to get online via WiFi from day one.
or use 3G sticks
Don't you already own a cell phone?
Does your PSP have awesome controls
I don't think they are too bad.
a great screen
4.3" is the same size as the Pandora, albeit @ 1/2 rez.
a 14 hour battery life?
No, but it does have a 10 hour battery life. And the batteries are cheap.

Does it run hackable linux, with off-the-shelf compatibility with your favourite tools?
Uh, yes again.

If it's going to hit the ocean anywhere near Mach 6 (3900+ MPH), it will be a huge fireball. At the very least it will disintegrate.
Here is another one for you highlighting BPs poor safety record, but you will probably handwave this away too.

George Carlin is a crazy old anarchist stand-up comedian.......who was dead right 95% of the time.
There, I fixed that for you.
Wow. Way to go authoritarian police state. Let's not even try to hide it anymore.
Neverwinter Nights is easy to get into, runs on Linux & older hardware, has a nice C like scripting language & has the capability to make simple or complex mods.
There are RPGs for the original Starcraft as well.
Can you use Gmax instead?
And yet they still manage to spend more on advertising than R&D.
