i hack it because i can

these questions that sony are asking are lame...

Yeah.. kinda lame, i could agree on "I can do more with a hacked psp than with an unhacked psp" However, I'm sure there is a logic and data-gathering reason for making this questions.

>The benefits of getting free PSP content outweigh any of the negatives.

Negatives? That's a lose-lose question. Sony propaganda.

"Hacking a PSP makes me feel like a Rebel" LOL

Seriously, who wrote this? The Junior Sony Association?! It's like Sony is treating the well experienced hackers and legends of our time like adolescent teenage dropouts.

99% of people that would fill this out would have no experience in PSP hacking other then installing a CFW, if even that. I don't see Sony's logic in releasing something so... idiotic ... But then again, it is Sony.

Installing a CFW is not hardly the same as "Hacking" the PSP, though, it does help fill the potential that the PSP can handle.

There are so many LEGAL attributes that help out the PSP such as use of the infrared - A feature that was not embraced by Sony, but through the work of Homebrew, made it such a useful feature.

Given.. ISO/CSO's and Emulators for something such as the PSP would greatly hinder parts of the gaming industry. Sony won't stand for such things..

Hence why Sony can't possibly go for the Game Hacker Motto:

- "Gaming Without Boundaries"

*claps* Such words...Touched me!

My dear friend, you took the words right out of my mouth!:thumbup:

Cleverly done!

"I hack my PSP to see if I can get away with it?"

"Hacking the PSP is worth the legal and technical risk"?

So I guess they see hackers as teenagers robbing banks (?)

I agree in all you say, and I think most of the community of psp users do too, but I don´t understand why sony makes such silly questions, what´s their point :confused1:

does that means they gave up? i mean, if they release such survey, it must be because they're out of options, seeing that hackers greatly overpower their forces and such. they sound like beaten dogs, like "okay we won't try anymore to make unhackable fws".. just my two cents i guess..

Where's the "To piss Sony off." Question?

I wanna take the quiz...

Me too..

Same here. we really need a link to the poll

they are asking to understand how to improve their product and profit off those changes.

Yeah i agree we need a link to the actual poll, interesting either way though.

The poll is like 16months old... :|

holy shit I was late :laugh:

lol me too, if there was a comments section i would probibly outline all of the PSP's missing FW features such as IR and homebrew support! Sony could provide a homebrew platform, look at chickHEN's features for example, can play homebrew, but not ISO's and home ripped PSX games but at the same time allowing the sony DRM'd stuff to work!

You wanna know why sony? Cause your stupid. I'm not a hacker, but I like my PSP's that I spent almost $500 on. My favorite games are the SOCOM ones (excluding hackers), I like them more than COD. The ONLY reason people hack is because of the people who put a 5 on almost every question on the survey. They only hack there PSP's so they can cheat on there little video games so they can actually say, "Oh, I'm ranked 3 on the leaderboards" or some stupid !@#$. Now people get mad, like me, because they can't show there "actual skill." What I mean is take FTB3 for instance, LAT-ER-AL should be ranked number one, but because of all the boosters, (wich I can guarentee 9/10 of them hack) hes ranked 10th. My friend on FTB3, --UnSp0keN, should be 10th on the boards but I think hes somewhere in the 40's. So, what happens now that a game only has a couple of new hackers? They decide to show the world about there new hacks after awile. The reason that other people would want ANY hacks is to be a "Anti-Hacker." Now things are getting worse because at the slightest sign of cheating, hacking or whatever (even if the guy is just good and its a misunderstanding) the room gets booted or banned, sometimes a "Anti-Hacker" just pulls out his hacks on someone until they leave the game. Once things like this happen more people get ticked and more people want to hack because they dont like other hackers and the only way to deal with a hacker is to be the better hacker. Wich always ends up in failure for both sides.

I guess to sum it all up, people hack because it's not fair when others hack. I guess there selfish persons thinks it's fair for everyone when they have the hacks on also, witch btw it's not. If you want it all to end, THEN PUT FOURTH SOME MONEY TOWARDS YOUR PORTABLE SYSTEMS SONY!

Oh and also, the fact that hackers can get free crap online made things worse.

I don't think people "only hack to cheat in video games". Hell I didn't even know there were any online cheats for any psp games, but saying people only hack their psps to cheat online is just ridiculous.

Also necroing a year+ old thread ftw.

Thats not the only reason, lots of people do it for the free stuff online, but it's still wrong. Plus the main reason is do have an advanatage over everyone in a game. If you don't think so then play SOCOM. It's just how it all started and why it's still going.

People were hacking the psp long before any of the socom games were released so you're wrong. It has nothing to do with having "an advantage over everyone in a game".

If I remember correctly my original reason for modding my PSP was for emulators.

Edit: I didn't realize how old this thread was.

That's my first and only reason for it.

Am I not correct on why MOST people do it these days in the first place? People hacked so they can feel better than everyone LONG before PSN and other stuff. Hackers aren't a problem other than hacking games. It's just annoying and thats why anyone ever talks about hackers.

Thought this looked old.

"To see if I could get away with it". Jeez, Sony was really driving the whole "THIS IS WRONG" argument about CFW, weren't they? Kind of funny to consider that via the DMCA Exception that this is perfectly legal nowadays.

It was true though. The PSP scene wasn't exactly filled with older people. A lot found satisfaction in doing it purely because it was outside the norm.

As for me, I just wanted emulators.

Because i could, and why should'nt i want to do more than SCE thought i should.

This is why I originally did it. Then I was like, oh cool, homebrew and XMB customization.
