| Sheesh... a bit late to the party You can ALREADY download games for your PSP. And all it takes is a copy of Lumines, a memory stick, and an internet connection. What exactly are they proposing to do, charge money for something that everyone with half a brain knows you can do for free?
Wake up sony. You've missed the boat.. umm, by a couple of years now.

That's call THEFT. Anyone with a half a brain could steal something from wal-mart. Do you? Anyone with a minimum wage job can earn enough to buy one of those PS1 games in an hour. So no reason to steal. |

So no reason to steal. Yeah.. and rootkit by Sony was OK? Maybe these downloaders are giving them some payback? I don't have a PSP but if I did, I darn would download a game to try it out before buying it. Now.. if sony would offer a trail of it's games, say 1st level only, they might be on to something.. Just a thought.  |

Saint Clair Shores, MI | Thats the point. Not too many people are willing to download a demo and all it's payload (advertisements) that sometimes comes with it. I use trials all the time but am very careful who and where I get them from. It appears some just want to pass go and get the real thing. But, with sony's "root kit" rep (my point), some consider "sticking it to the man" by getting the FULL version and moving on.  |

Yeah ok...These people will use anything for an excuse to take what is not theirs. Whether it is stealing to put food on the table for your family or it is stealing cuz you want it and don't want to have to pay for it...It is still stealing no matter how you want to rationalize it. In the end you become that which you detest. |

The asshole idiots who have been calling the homebrew community one of "piracy" and "theft" are ignorant morons. Almost all of the games available through PSP homebrew are HOME MADE by amateur programmers, that is, none of them are normal PSP titles and most of them are original games in general (although some of them loose rip-offs of nintendo games and others, but who are you kidding if you think that the regular pay-for game companies don't do the same thing). Homebrew offers a venue for up-and-coming game programmers to fool around and let people use their work for free, it is NOT piracy, it is NOT theft. |
