Seeing that an Exploit is a specifically modified save file/system file/whatever which has the purpose of launching code or bypassing certain security measures, it's a hack in my book, and that's that. People can agree or disagree, at the end of the day it's a matter of nomenclature.

I'm more interested in the retro emulation side of Vita than its games, so that's the only reason i could care for a hack. PS2, GC emulation in your hands. :P

Anyways it might be while before that happens.

good lord id love ps2 emu ...one that works really well. I never got to play some of the great RPGs on the system, particularly some of the very hard to find (or stupidly over priced) SMT games. Even though i know id pirate some vita games (50$ for some games can be a bit much when your a full time collage student) PS2 emu would be a top of the list for me.

btw how big are games like uncharted digitally?

To be perfectly honest, the most interesting part of this video is the clear presence of a driver for the Vita as a standard USB device. I'd hate it if I had to use the manager for every transfer - Foxi likes his Explorer much better than MediaGo or any other kind of bloatware.

There is no driver there...all you can see is a program that displays information on the connect USB device. Nabnab is however working on a driver for the Vita (cross-platform). A driver though, is not necessarily going to do what you are talking about. Many devices have drivers (all non-plug'n'play USB devices in fact), only a few show up in Explorer. Having said this, nabnab also mentioned he wants to mount the memory card (i.e. make it accessible like a removable disk), and presumably his driver will incorporate that provided he can manage it.

EDIT: Also, quote from nabnab over at ps3news.com:

USB Debug mode allow more than we expect but it's pretty unstable for now
Every person who have a PS Vita can do it and without anything else than a PS Vita and computer

That would be absolute poetry, thanks for the info.

I can't believe it for now. :)

Just go and party all, if it is hacked that would be nice for us. If not good as well! :D

I know it will eventually happen. ;D
