Dissidia will also feature Data Install

I do the same thing. All my iso are legal with the exception that I downloaded the iso instead of messing around with ripping it. All of them are games I legally own though.

Technically, either way is a violation of the DMCA, but until the courts get into the 21st century, I'll continue this way because the games load so much faster and I don't have to worry about which memory stick my game save is on.

I am so sick of hearing the CFW=piracy idiots. They can't separate the two concepts in their minds. It's the difference between having the -ability- to commit a crime and actually committing it. Sony and others just assume people will commit the crime if they are capable of it. That's not 100% true.

Christopher,
It's not that we can't separate the two, it's the **FACT** that without CFW, piracy would be impossible. For those of us that enjoy our PSP's without needing hacks, getting rid of CFW means an end to piracy. Period. And that would guarantee us better third party support and probably lower software prices overall.

I'll trade your ability to play without the slight whirring noise for the chance to play more games for less money. ;-)

"...CFW means an end to piracy. Period. And that would guarantee us better third party support and probably lower software prices overall."

Pipe dream. Piracy is just as bad in Japan as the rest of the world, but PSP has tons of Japanese games. In fact, piracy on the DS is HUGE, and yet they have no issues with third party support."

Just because you say something, it doesn't make it true.

Sorry, GoBob. You're spouting false, circuitous logic there.

Piracy is a drag on sales and support. Period. It's not up for debate. Maybe Sony loves Japan and hates the US (as several PSPfanboy regulars like to spout), so they're willing to put up with the piracy there and still make tons of games. If piracy ended over here, that would only make us more attractive to developers (maybe enough to overcome Sony's fictional "hate").

As for the DS, that is irrelevant. Why? Because the DS demographic is mostly kiddies and casual gamers. Sure, there is some piracy, but it pales in comparison to their sales. In contrast, the PSP crowd is more "savvy", and therefore more likely to pirate. The ratio of piracy to actual sales is MUCH higher for the PSP. (Look at the #1 torrents versus sales charts--PSP is tops in one and bottom in the other.)

Just because you can type doesn't mean you can think. ;-)

Sorry, Zippon. You're spouting false, circuitous logic there.

Zippon, pirating on the DS is easier than on the PSP. Pirating is more common on the DS than on the PSP. Why do you think there has been a huge crackdown on R4 flashcarts? Don't you read gaming news? You are an idiot.

if the memory stick you used was 128 MB or lower the save data would be 64 KB but if you used any higher memory stick it would be 128 KB. I'm not sure if that actually improved load times

Yeah, but i dont think square will use it, they barely ever do :(
