Interview with PSP Hacks
I recently got a chance to sit down (figuratively, it was an email interview) with PSP Hacks and discuss the dangerous world of hacking.
Simon Owens: How has Sony reacted to the concept of PSP hacks? Is this something they generally encourage?
PSP Hacks: I don’t believe Sony encourages people to hack their device however, I think when Sony issues a firmware update this will encourage the hackers to circumvent the latest security attempts made by Sony.
Simon Owens: How would you summarize your blog’s audience? Are they mostly tech geeks or do you get a lot of hard-core gamers who aren’t necessarily schooled on the tech side of PSPs?
PSP Hacks: I think it’s a combination of both. People who are interested in hacking their unit for the first time and have no clue - there are ‘newbies’ visiting on a daily basis, and then there are the technical ones who just want to see what’s new in the community and have a general understanding on how to accomplish the basics.
Simon Owens: What are some of the best hacks you’ve come up with for PSP?
PSP Hacks: Personally we haven’t developed any hacks ourselves - we’re simply providing the information for everyone else. A lot of our forum users have contributed hacks/homebrew to the scene.
Simon Owens: What are some of the roadblocks that get in the way that make it hard for you to create certain kinds of hacks?
PSP Hacks: Sony’s latest firmware updates. 
Simon Owens: How much reader feedback do you get on your hacks? Do most your readers usually try out the hacks you recommend?
PSP Hacks: Yup - we receive numerous emails / day. The forums are well populated with users helping each other out and recommending different ideas to one another. Currently we’ve got over 15,000 members active in the forums.
Simon Owens: What are the five blogs everyone should be reading (besides your own)?
PSP Hacks: slashdot.org …and there’s more?
