Are those prices in euro or pound?

Sony supports homebrew on PS3 as it can run Linux right out of the box, so most open source applications that run on a PC will also run on PS3.

I think the main issue is that the PSP firmware wasn't originally designed to run homebrew like the PS3 was. Sony has never said they won't bring homebrew support to PSP, in fact they have said they are considering to bring homebrew to the PSP in a couple interviews during E3. As to if it will happen... who knows, would definitely be cool though.

so...what was originally designed for?

 

[x3sphere]

was it to run ISO's?

PS3? It can't run ISOs, even if it did backups of Blu-ray discs are 50GB in size, so really no point there. I guess the challenge for Sony with PSP is allowing homebrew but not allowing ISOs at the same time.

Which, unfortunately, is a borderline impossibility.:sad:

PSP was designed to run encrypted applications only. Every game that is released for PSP, Sony themselves need to encrypt the EBOOT.BIN for it to run.

Wow...crippled ps3's.

 

[MenaceInc]

Wow...crippled ps3's.

crippled?....the only features missing are the extra 2 USB ports and the built-in card readers...other than that i'd say this is well worth the money...

this isn't a good deal, but if it was i would definitively trade my 360 for the 40gb ps3, then we have the 360 games (great exclusives) and the ps3 games (3rd party games also available for the 360), doesn't worth it, i will stick with my 360 and my 3 year warranty, lol, yay for microsoft

 

[Junit]

Imma buy it if it's pretty cheap before MGS4 , until then I look theother towards the playstation 3
