Yep, you read that right folks. Mere days after its launch and somebody's already hacked the PSP Go. Hold your horses, though! There are a few caveats.
The one responsible for this hack is FreePlay, who you may know for his work on the Sparta SDK and his recent run-ins with Team Mack. Before you go out an buy a Go thinking it's wide open to homebrew, there are a few disclaimers from the dev.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Well a small leap still leads to a giant leap. Hopefully they will be able to get CFW running on the Go then I'll immediately go out and buy one. Otherwise, I'm still perfectly fine with my PSP-1000
We don't need more hacked PSPs. Hacking and piracy has already ruined it. There could be so many better games on PSP if it wasn't for the rampant piracy. Prices would probably be lower.
I'll bet piracy is the reason why Capcom decided to no do a portable Devil May Cry. They said it was in the works and then it was canceled. Luckily we got God of War though.
I used to have homebrew on my 1000 and aside from emulators(which lose their novelty quick) it all sucked. The apps were designed poorly and just looked like ass. That may be different today, but I doubt any app creators have designers to make them look nice.
Won't be long now, I don't agree with piracy most of the time but some of the things they do are amazing.
But what they seem to NOT UNDERSTAND, is by doing this complete stupidity to say "HA HA I'm the UBER hacker HA."
Your going to get the rest of civilation to a place where DRMs and "renting" day (cough) streaming (cough) from a cloud become the norm.
If you don't see this trend of this coming then you aren't looking too deeply into technology, but whatever. Keep driving technology to the cloud where only a few men are required to control your data.
bleh
Why don't we just completely destroy the PSP??? This is getting ridiculous. You people wonder why the gaming industry is hurting. Its people like you who hack their systems.
