- sagat, on 10/12/2007, -28/+2Quality article from the BBC, if only all news sources were bothered to actually talk to people show the full details and research the subject Digg rather than just post 2 sentences, life would be a lot more informative.
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28Your comment broke my brain... While I do agree it is a quality article from the BBC, I don't understand what the rest means.

I post agree said article of BBC informative and quality.
@Everyone else
I agree that was a quality article. It is nice to read a little insight on the the driving force behind some very well known names amongst the PSP homebrew community!- soseven, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1@dvsbastard
I post also agree your comment of truthiness and ridinghood - Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7You're both horrible at funny.
- soseven, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1@dvsbastard
- bwilstyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Quality article from the BBC, if only all news sources were more informative.
- TheTjalian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I really like the fact that BBC didn't make them seem like completely hardened criminals, which you of probably seen in most other articles. Great to hear these teams are getting some massive exposure!
- lolhax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Exactly. These days, the so-called mainstream gaming sites project these people as "pirates". This article is a fresh breath of air from a mainstream news agency.
- Kylem87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I agree. Sites such as IGN, Gamespot etc will not report on PSP development because they believe Dark_Alex and Fanjita are pirates. Listen to the BBC world service radio interview lolhacks posted, Fanjita isn't a pirate! At least PSP sites such as PSPUpdates, PSPhacks etc report the real news.

While I agree to a point, sites like IGN, Gamespot etc rely heavily on companies such as Sony to provide exclusives, interviews, advertising etc... If Sony decided to cut them out of the loop for supporting the "enemy", their entire business would be in danger. The BBC doesn't have the same risk.
It's like women's magazines. You never see a bad review of cosmetics, beauty products or clothing in them because these companies are such important advertisers.
That's not to take anything away from the Beeb. I think there's no doubt that BBC News is the best in the world. It's one of the few things that makes me proud to be British. I wrote to them once to enquire about the availability of their channels in Japan, and got a personal emailed reply from the Head of BBC News Worldwide.
- jonj, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1bla bla bla, the PSP is a failure (according to most diggers)
- captaineuphoria, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13The PSP would be almost useless if not for homebrew teams.
- hellpancho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Not if you have it with the Custom Firmware...
- sameagain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4this actually takes the PSP above the DS in my opinion. It's nice and easy to open and use homebrew apps on as you please. unlike the DS, which (although I love to pieces) would be so much better if it was as accessible (without a £50+ hardware upgrade which isn't guaranteed to work) as the PSP.
Viva la PSP! (and the DS!) - mattmoto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"The PSP would be almost useless if not for homebrew teams."
I wouldn't call the ability to play GTALCS, VCS, Loco Roco, Portable Ops, Tekken, Rachet and Clank, Pirates, Lumines, and LOTS else "almost useless"... - zabaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You would if you realised you can play all those games for free.
- polyGone, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1This story makes me think of marbles and orange Listerene.
- billywwwjr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0For the best in PSP Emulation and Hacking news i prefer DCEmu`s PSP News SIte, they actually let the coders post the news and get that important feedback.
Heres the link for those who dont know what it is http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk- lolhax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://digg.com/users/billywwwjr/news/submitted

- stenk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I liked this comment!
"He spends an hour or two a night hacking PSP software in his Edinburgh home, and is also a martial arts enthusiast."
In other words don't ***** with him! - djfreex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1its hard to find GTA with 2.00 update. I hope they come up with a firmwire that does not require that./
