Sony is preparing yet another firmware update in retaliation to this.

My mate has been "playing" with his PSP since he bought it from Japan when they were released there, his view is "I bought and paid for it, so I can do what I want with it" and i see his point... he already has some linux thing on it :eek: but I fall asleep when he gets all techy explaining what else he does with it :D
