If 0okm's word is to anything to go by, newer PSPs might be at firmware 2.81 from the factory itself. And I'm pretty sure that 0okm has his sources; and if anything, I would trust what 0okm has to say. Plus, he has also given us a picture which shows the box of the newly released PSP. The new box has a code of L on the sticker. So if you or any of your friends are planning to buy a PSP in the near future, please make sure to not buy one which has a box code L on the sticker. In case you don't know, firmware 2.81 isn't hacked yet, so you'll probably be stuck without homebrew for at least a while. Oh and remember, friends don't let their friends buy a homebrew-less PSP. |

» What do you expect?
Really these are the newest PSPs being made so why wouldn't they have the newest firmware. It's good to know that they are out there and what to look for but this is to be expected. I mean why would Sony load something like 2.5 or 2.7 on a newest run of PSPs? Not everyone is interested in homebrew so this makes it easier on them since they won't have to upgrade for a while.
Although I love homebrew not everyone does my friend uses his for what it was meant for mp3s,video, and UMD games. I've shown him the emulators and devhook but he said he isn't interested so that's his choice and I respect it. If someone doesn't like homebrew their not insane hell-spawn they just have a different opinion than you so just let them be. I mean who is it hurting you still have your homebrew, just live and let live.

"Because what people still can't seem to get their narrow minds around, is the fact that the firware updates are to fix security holes that could be used maliciously, and NOT to put a stop to homebrew.
Not to say that they want to support homebrew in any way, but they're main goal with the firmware updates is to protect the general consumer."
Did you even read my comment, smart guy? This is a site where the only news items posted are 1) inconsequential game developments, and 2) tricks and exploits that either void your warranty or (let me repeat myself) discourage users from loading the latest security patch.
And you don't think Sony is sending a mixed message with a sponsored link to this site? A casual, know-nothing PSP user finds PSP Connect, finds the plain-as-day link to PSP Updates, and another PSP user is part of Sony's 'problem.' It's sending a mixed message. And unless you are a Sony employee you're not qualified to give the answer I was looking for.
But don't get me wrong, I love this site and don't ever want it to go anywhere.

» Get over it.
Homebrew is dead. Nothing homemade is worth playing at all. The only thing that's worth running off of a memory card are emulators, and if I wanted to play those games I'd play them on the machines they were originally made for, none of this half framerate bullshot you get on PsP. Just upgrade to 2.81 already and play the games that are actually made for the machine. They're better anyway.
And for all you jackholes emulating ISO's it's you that's killing the "scene" not "$ony." Get a job and buy some *****ing games.
