http://www.pspcrazy.com/?page=Articles&action=showarticle&id=201 This person, author of PSPcrazy as he claims, cracks me up. a few lines of comedy: Then the first modchip was invented for the PS1, this was the first major move in piracy because it caused major concern from Sony and Nintendo over console game security. (it is now known that people didn't know how to solder or pirate famicom games by the thousands, thanks for the playstation for opening our eyes to electronics, truly Godsent ) Due to this [piracy] the cost of games has not only risen a large amount, but the release date of the new next-gen consoles such as the Wii and the PS3 have been shifted back almost a whole year. (Nope, it's not the BluRay diode, nor the fine adjustments of the Wii controller than concerned their companies. It was Captain Hook.) That leaves us the customers not only sad and broken hearted, but also angry at the fact that the games cost us now 60 dollars versus the original 40 dollars. (what can I say? My friend's grand father died of heart-attack, now we know why) A few years back, I was the only one who even knew how to pirate ps1 and ps2 games in my school, now half the people I talk to know how to pirate game consoles, and how to play their pirated version of games. (I never realized rum, looting, and pirating finally hit the kinder-garden ) The largest piracy breakout I have ever seen in my life to date is the PSP iso loader issue. It is not only one of the easiest systems to pirate, but it also requires no modchip (Like the GameCube, the N64, the GBA, and countless other consoles did too right? Oh, and the DreamCast?Or was he even around when that came out?) That means it cost the user nothing to fully pirate a game, and it doesn’t prevent even the youngest kid from pirating a PSP game. (be careful of nasty 5-year olds, it could be your son or daughter coding in assembly language. Further proof of kinder-garden related copyright infringement.) Although I am totally fine with having a backup of a game you own (I don't mind owning a backup of a game you own either ) I have been noticing the extreme decrease in good games coming out for the PSP. At first I believed that this issue stemmed from the fact that the console has high-graphical demands that are hard to meet, but now I have figured out the true reason that good games are hard to find on the PSP. (SCEJ, subbie and analysts thank you kind Sir.) Spot on:lol: I could go on and on, but I guess you can enjoy the hilarity for yourself xD This person also has an online magazine I think, besides an 'excellent' review site. I d kill myself if he gets free review copies.
Crap. I thought it was hosted at gamespot.com. Anyway... this guy is pure stupid, as well as the people who 'clapped' at his 'great' article. Maybe because there are less grammatical errors in this one?
You could pirate for DC without anything other than a CD burner. This guy obviously has no clue what he is talking about.
What a tosspot that guy is. Not one thing he wrote was correct :lol: Man, people like that really do annoy me because there are other idiots out there who would take his word as Gosple. Yakumo
Wow... I mean what else is there to say? It's like when you see a car wreck with all the debris on the ground and dark fluids on the road. Yakumo, the sad thing is you're right on. There are lots of idiots that are just like this guy. They think they know everything and are so smart. Speaking of piracy, do you guys really think it'll be as big of a problem this next generation of consoles? I mean now that all 3 systems will be able to recieve OS updates and feature online play, I'd think that will make pirating less convient. I mean back with the PS2, there was nothing to hinder you expect a few games that might have been tricky. But with Xbox 360, you probably want to play online. Well if you do, you have to update your software, which can detect your hacked DVD drive. Ofcourse this ties to online play, but updates come on game discs too like the PSP, so it'll definitely get annoying. Does anyone else think that perhaps we might see a drop in common piracy or atleast not a continued explosion in this next-gen? And by common piracy I mean everyone including these idiots pirating games. The sad thing is how they feel special by following some instructions just like hacking windows way back when. You just download a package and put together a trojan in no time. You didn't have to do anything but point and click, and yet they think they are so smart and cool.
Oh, so MS CAN/has detected the hacked DVD drives? in the US at least, companies dont have the right to brick your console for being modded. I wonder if one has modded their console for homebrew, about the legitimacy of locking him outside the online gaming environment. Nevertheless, If there's a remedy, there's always a better hack out there online or not.
I wonder if it's not easier to modify/personalize consoles that get online contents, you just need a tcp/ip sniffer in the middle, a DNS server to trick the console and a web server to fill it with your own contents, it's work great with the bbnav at least... By the way, anybody here has a PSX DESR thing? I found something interesting on its update disc 1.10 and 1.20, the dummy file!
Yes they do. You agreed to the EULA when you opened the box (well, you didn't return it for a refund, so you are assumed to have agreed) - they don't sell you the OS on the console, they just grant you the right to use it. If they decide that you're abusing that right as laid out in the EULA then they can prevent you from using it. The hardware's yours to do with exactly what you wish. The software provided on it isn't. The fact that you can't play any games on it without their OS really isn't their problem ;-) Stone
The courts are clever beings. They look beyond such artificialities. If no alternative is present (i.e no open OS), then locking the only possible way of play constitutes a wrongdoing on the part of the company. Courts are well known to detect shams in contractual agreements, and very keen to enforce the Law to protect consumers, both in the UK and especially in the US
This is technically true, but no one has ever tested it in court as far as consoles are concerned. I would love to see how it stands up to the first sale doctrine.
Lol I love this guy!!! Extreme decrease in good games on the PSP haha lol as he played any??? Nope he can't find them...one can wonder if videogame store are also hard to find... As for the high graphical demand PSP is quite similar to a PS2 so devers should know how to program it, Ridge Racer looks fantastic for a portable game. I guess it is more a question of "shall we make a game on the PSP?" "euh nope nobody has one and it has no stylus to scratch the dog..." Sorry...:110: seriously I love my PSP I wouldn't swap it for a DS, even if good games are rare (I guess I agree with him partially) I only use it when travelling so I got enough with a few good games for months...:thumbsup: I guess PS3 took a lot of resources out of PSP from Sony's partners but I'm sure this will change as devers now should be on cruising speed with deving on the PS3.
