It is all a tradeoff between unit sales and licensing rights.... make a system easy to crack you sell boatloads of units but get little licensing rights.... Make it impossible to crack and sell far fewer units and maintain the licensing rights. Personally I would wager that the money Sony would make if they released a UMD writer for PC would be exponentialy greater than what they will make by keeping everything proprietary. BTW Compact flash prices are incorrectly quoted in this instance.... we are talking MemStick DUO here which is yet another proprietary sony media format. Uggg. Damn Japs.

yes, but it will. Thats that. And I think you are the last to say "whats likely true."

Well, we'll see a way to play releases on the jap psp's within days/weeks, maybe a month (or more) for the US firmware...
lessee, better screen... faster warez... no umd problems... methinks a Japanese PSP is just what I'm going to get.

Well in terms of playing them yes... But you are all forgetting what a huge step it is to actually break the PSP down to Homebrew Software, Gaming on the memory stick etc.

well, they've obviously figured out how to compile and write code for the PSP
http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000463042387/
Next step is to use the same compiling routines and code to run a "shortcut" program. Principle here's simple: extract files from the image onto a folder in the memory stick. Have shortcut start the executable file in that folder (and maybe at a later stage, derail the UMD drive and mount that folder or image as a UMD drive). Hell, I'd work on this myself if I knew more about coding than I do about Chinese (I know it's line-y).
Edit: I realize that there might not be a mounting function for the PSP, so an alternative would be to wait for Sony to release their Bios injection tool (along with some bios update), hack the 1.0 bios (or the new one, what do I know) to execute code directly from an image file (or from an extracted file). From there, Linux!

actually ALL games are region locked but it will only prevent you from playing multiplayer games with someone who has the game from a different region...
If you have a japanese copy of the game you can only play multiplayer with a person who also has a japanese copy of the game
the same with US copies
