What happens when you allow users to connect their console to a computer

Sony today realised that the newest firmware update was….intresting. The firmware update (notes from a last post) allows one now run apps on their PSP though nothing too bad (except for a few emulators) one can now change the channel and watch TV (if you are good enough). Also soon (but not now) you can make hacks, viruses, and other things for a PSP. That can cause problems. To countermeasure possible piracy and illegal trading that could cost them millions, Sony has started to periodically release firmware upgrades that prevent hacks and homebrewed code to be run on the handheld. The upgrades aren’t strictly for security measures, as each upgrade also has minor system updates. The most recent release, Firmware 2.0 (as stated before), added a Web browser and other additions while functioning as a steel curtain for hackers. Many PSP owners that run user-created programs on their PSPs refused to upgrade to 2.0, as the upgrade blocks several unlicensed programs from running. Also Sony has considered making their newer games infunctionable with out the newest upgrades to the system.
