David Reeves knows the PSP Piracy problems.

June 20, 2008 in News comments 11

President of SCEE David Reeves has admitted that there is a problem with PSP piracy. He states that while it can lead to PSP growth in hardware sales, its not something he's happy about, and that Sony is going to unveil new anti-piracy policies to clamp down on the issue at hand.

However, speaking at the firm’s developer DevStation conference in London last week, Reeves said that the trend was actually helping drive sales of PSP hardware.

“There is a piracy problem on PSP. We know about it, we know how it’s done. It sometimes fuels the growth of hardware sales, but on balance we are not happy about it,” said Reeves, telling attendant developers that Sony will unveil new ways to combat piracy soon.

          I never said CFW was piracy. CFW enables piracy. No CFW = no piracy for me.


          Do you know anything about the English language?

    Sometimes Piracy is the only option for getting games only released in japan.

      PSP games aren't region coded. You could import any game from any country and play it without any problems.

    I recall Phil Harrison last year stating that homebrew and piracy was one of the best things to happen to the PSP. Perhaps certain people see it differently but piracy is not bad, atleast not on the PSP. I think i read that piracy doesn't really affect PSP software, most people are only hacking the console to play games from other platforms, or to play their games on the memory stick instead of UMD.
