QUOTE Here's Malenfant's take on things - though he denies that they've been having talks with Sony for a new PSP game, he does agree with Koller on one thing: the whole digital distribution direction.
You know, the way these things work is that, ironically, even if there was a new PSP in the works we would probably be the last people to find out about it. I really have no clue what Sony's plans are.
As far as what my personal wishes are, I'd love to see anything that can help distribution move quicker toward a 100 percent online model. It's not piracy but used games that are killing us.
-John Koller, Sony's PSP Brand Manager- taken from QJ.net's article, here

Good and bad.
They'd stop piracy, but at the same time could also limit users who doesn't have an internet connection.

yeah, what i find funny is there's a lot of people chanting support original to help developers but doesn't really know what they're doing is really helpful to the developers or not. "support original" have become like the "in-thing" for today's gamers without really understand the meaning.
hell, i'll say if people really want to support developers, buy a pirated games and the differences from original games, donate it to the developers. that you really supporting them 100%

pirated , no money whatsover go to dev 2nd hand , at least when bought new 1st time , the money go to dev. granted that no money for the 2nd time around the game is sold go to dev. which is the same as buying pirated.
so go figure.
new technology need to be develop to curb 2nd hand as well as pirated games. maybe once u pop in the game in ur console , the game bind with that console forever , cant even borrow game from friends when that happens. i always borrow game from my friends. so yay. whatever we do we are screwed. play ori screwed , play pirated screwed. play cock la senang

Which is why everyone is turning to digital distribution.....
I don't mind it that much, but seriously.... With our glorios internet connection we have here, God knows how long it'll take to download a 20GB game off PSN or 9GB game from XBL...
I know they'll be compressed and such, but you know what I mean.
