Woo! I can't wait to give up all my classic emulators to install the latest and greatest firmware. Then I'll save up and get a LocationFree $350 station so I can watch TV.</sarcasm>

Well, at least now my friend can actually get on my wireless network with the high security protocol.

Course, if you could play good old games why would you give that up? To play PSP games? Whatever...

They aren't trying to get people to buy LocationFree base stations my friend, however, they are giving base station owners a reason to upgrade their PSPs. Of course, adding a link to the Sony Store couldn't hurt base sales. :)

Whatever, I'd drop homebrew just to be able to send dirty, dirty sexy email to Kim Jong Il.

Give up my homebrew and make my 1GB stick pretty much useless? No thanks.

They forgot to add one feature:

* Detects if you're running Mario-All-Stars SNES and calls your mother.

Yeah! 4 Life! Lets beat up the stars of WCW with baseball bats. Then I can get drunk and have auto accidents with my children in the car.
