Exploitable PSP Games Return to the Vita

[The Lugz]

You know the hackers are just loving this pissing match Sony has decided to engage in. They lose nothing but their time in cracking every firmware update but Sony has to waste thousands upon millions of dollars to patch every loophole they find.

Fight on brothers, a mighty harvest of lulz awaits you.

it's all well and good in my opinion because every security loophole that gets found and patched gets documented and eventually there will be no holes, bar physical tampering with the device
hackers will eventually put themselves out of a career
and not a damn will be given that day

besides, it's Microsoft attacking Sony because they have mobile jellys and we all know it

I will NEVER betray my comrades! The world will bow down to the potatoe by MY HAND?! Flee before my terrible power!

I am quite "rooted" to the spot with a mixture of fear and laughter. What will become of mankind?

Hahahahahaha! Lets just say humanity hasn't a chance against the forces of the potato, millions of my comrades have been consumed by the beast that is humanity! and I shall reign vengeance upon them!
Humanity believes money is the "Root" of all evil, oh how very mistaken they are...

Will will eat you in the billions! You will never rise past low evils of food poisoning!

I will call apon the vast armies of Americans to eat fries, I will call apon the English to eat bangers and mash and chips and vinegar, The Australians to eat potato cakes, the French to eat french fries. Each race will work ever harder to defeat you.
What do potatoes have? We have VEGANS! the only race to only eat fruit and veggies. (Also Samuel L. Jackson)

Exploitable PSP Games Return to the Vita

.... Nearly every facet of the system; from its connectivity software, which downloads and installs updates without asking the user....

Without asking the user?? I'm calling BS on this statement, unless you'd like to point me to an article that can back it up. Every update I've had for my Vita has asked permission to download and install, and I've never heard of this until now.

The rest of the article is sadly true, but I don't mind as long as they keep their updates as small as they have been. In the end they're just trying to keep their system from being exploited as early as the psp was. Because of that a lot of 3rd party dev's stayed clear of the device (although, Japan's support held steady enough). It's an inconvenience, but it's better than them not doing anything about it, and losing support for their new device. Pickled onions are yummy.

AHA! That is what YOU think you pathetic MAN-ANIMAL! We will make sure humanity pays for the genocide of the potatoes! The day of reckoning is upon us?!

*SMASH* ...mmm hash browns...

Back on topic.

I think that Sony is missing the big picture. They have been trying to appropriate the tech hardware market for decades. and because of them perfectly viable technologies fall by the way side because Sony couldn't share, most notably the Betamax which was vastly superior to VHS in many ways. All this data ware fare is just earning them bad press and making the hackers want to do it more; more over, it's making non-hacker types like me despise Sony. Every time I see the word Sony in an article the first thing I Think is "gee I wonder how there gonna fuck us this week." They have gone to great lengths to alienate consumers. I'd sooner buy both a 360 and a wii than PS(anything).

And the vita is 9.2 troy ounces of crap.
