Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:01:05 +0000 http://www.crunchgear.com/?p=44544#comment-923859 IMO, the PSPs lack of decent 3rd party support has been largely due to how insanely easy it is to pirate PSP games. Developers are (rightfully) reluctant to invest in a platform that has piracy as rampant as the PSP. I believe the new hardware revision is not so much due to Sony wanting to refresh the device as much as it is they want to disable/counteract the Pandora Battery "vulnerability". My bet is that the "3rd party support is coming" is directly related to the new hardware revision coming soon.
