this seems to be further proof that neither MS or Sony know how to sell a good system. Sony had a platform that would have benefitted from tremendous viral marketing to a prize demographic.Specifically, the PSP attracts hackers and modders, who are willing to spend more money for the ability to tinker. But Sony, in the face of its primary market's express wishes, has done everything to take away what appeals to its users in the first-place. Why lock down a system to prevent yourself from losing money that you wouldn't have receieved anyway? Sony loses nothing by people playing SNES ROMs on a PSP. On the other hand, Sony stand to attract customers to a potentially robust system.Likewise, MS, if it plays its hand right with the 360, could attract alienated Sony users. By soft-pedaling DRM in favor of a hackable system, MS could make great strides in the console war. The Xbox was hackable, with only token prevention, laying the groundwork.Ultimately, MS should not only learn from Sony's recent mistakes, but it should strive to capitalize on them.
And that will sell more PSP's HOW?!That's my point. PSP has a feature that people want. Then, Sony releases an "upgrade" taking away that feature. Face it, Sony has an iPod killer if only they'd give the people what they want.Sony: the iPod-killer killer

@serpentorI'm not using SNES tyl .3c, I'm using uo_Snes9x 0.02y32.its at the bottom of the compatibility list for the bootloader <a class="user" href="http://gold.webfusion.co.uk/~fanjita/content/psp_working.html">http://gold.webfusion.co.uk/~fanjita/content/psp_working.html</a>with uo_snes9x you can 'overclock' the cpu, so i have the cpu at 266 and frameskip at 3. if you set the cpu to 333 (max) the battery is used *really* fast and the back gets kind of warm, so i just stick at 266 :)
