McZonk – it is Sony’s politics and I can understand it. If I have to earn money with the PSP, I also would ensure that the amount of people playing warez is small. I don’t really believe that Sony would be so aggressive if there was no ISO gaming. Sure, they aren’t really happy about seeing a big Nintendo logo on their PSP screen. The fact is that if you have a [firmware] 1.50 you will always be able to play emus [emulators] and ISOs and I’m really impressed how good Sony is in withstanding the hacking attacks on their firmware, and they have those killer features that people upgrade happily, like the browser in 2.0 (even if I never used it myself :D), and they can force the people to upgrade by locking their games to firmwares. I have an 1.0 and an 1.5 PSP, and I could do game isos if I wanted, but in fact all games I play (there aren’t much, Wipeout) I have on umd. I have never upgraded or downgraded one of my PSPs.
