The entire PSP community was really excited about the Lumines exploit that was found recently. It was because of this exploit that the 3.50 downgrader was developed. Word has been circulating on the net that the newer Japanese copies of the game are requiring firmware 3.51, thus effectively eliminating the exploit. Tr. on the Noobz forums gave a link to a screenshot which allegedly comes from the Japan release of Lumines. |

they patched the japanse ones first because the jap discs already couldnt run trhe exploiit, so sony decided to patch them in hopes that the devs wouldnt even bother making the downgrader work on the jap ver.

» Bah
That is the EU version. That's a UK store.
This sucks. I ordered my Lumines on June 26th. I'm guessing this is why it hasn't shipped yet. I guess I should cancel my order and start looking for a used copy.

» Yeah Ebay...
Once sellers get ahold of this info expect prices to double, triple, or even quadruple. Good thing, Lumines was the first game I got for the PSP.

» No Lumines in Portugal
In Portugal, Sony has recalled all Lumines UMDs. I get this news from a very reliable source, game store owner. So we could see one of this in Portugal soon.

» No Lumines in North America either
I called EB Games in hopes of getting a copy but the guy said that Lumines had been pulled from store shelves because "That game was being used to pirate software"

» PSPU did you even look at the screenshot?
The article says the patched version of Lumines comes with 3.51, yet the screeny clearly shows 3.50
PSPU has been here for a couple of years now. I suprised theyve made such an obvious error.
Not that the firmware that comes with the patched Lumines matters.

» ummm read the rest of the text
Obviously you didn't read. The text actually says something along the lines of. You currently have version 3.5 firm ware installed. You require version 3.51 firmware to play this game. Please update and try again.

» stop trying to be a smartass...
I have a very limited understanding in Japanese but I believe in the screen shot it says that the current version is 3.50 and that you need to upgrade to 3.51 to play the game.

I think that this was one of those 'waiting in the wings' type deals. There is no way Sony could have patched the exploit and had it on shelves in under 3 weeks. Often takes that long to ship the thing!

I knew there was a reason I bought lumines when I first got my PSP.... I hardly ever play it... But i'm glad I secured a copy none the less. Now just to up and downgrade my PSP.
