I have nothing to ad to the Vita hacked thing but the experience of the topic creator was pretty much the same as mine. Although I did have a psp but never felt the need to hack it. I had bought games (ds) for years before finding out about flash and still very few people around me have it. Also, because of my conscience I still try and buy every game I play and keep. I now collect the actual games, cover art and inctructions when I can find them for under $8. USD. You would be amazed what I have gotten for that little. I try to buy the best ones new to send a financial sign to the creators of great games that thier product is wanted otherwise we risk the best games not making it over here (US) or being made at all. Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water so to speak.
I have most of them (more than 150+) and will get all as money permits, in the hopes the collection will be worth something later. However, since I always bought second hand, little if any of those sales benifitted the actualy game creators. With few exceptions, (there are quite a few I will specifically buy new).
I firmly believe that second hand sales of games do far more damage than piracy ever could, I will stop getting them by DL when Nintendo or Sony finally does something about those pre owned sales first. Not that I want to see pre-owned sales stop but to whine about the lesser losses (piracy) while ignoring the larger ones (pre-owned sales) is nothing short of free publicity and nothing more. To whine about piracy without doing something about pre-owned sales does not even make logical sense. I have learned never to put any thing past any large corporation when it comes to free publicity and building a brand name.
I once worked for EB games aka Gamestop and many of those games get sold dozens of times over before not being brought back for trade in. The more popular ones like polkemon GBA got resold almost a hundred times over according to thier resales charts. So basically I use my card so I donlt have to bring all my cards with me to play a game I suddenly get a hankering to play. I also collect the instructions and cover artwork, which is another reason I try and buy each game. I never trade in games for credits and so forth. When you compare the hundreds of times ONE game gets resold to the COMPARATIVE piracy, there really is little to compare. (IMO)
enough from me...
But anyway I highly doubt it's hacked in any way or form.
