Sony Boss and SCEA Jack Tretton praises some of the work of the homebrew scene as "incredibly creative" and consider to try and add official homebrew to the PSP.

The homebrew scene is usually considered a bit of a dirty thing, because it usually takes some sort of hacking before the console in question will run such home-made software, but Jack Tretton has actually praised some of the work of the thriving PSP homebrew crowd.

When asked if Sony would consider adding official homebrew support to PSP, Tretton rather encouragingly said: "I think that is something that is in the works.

"We certainly see some of the stuff that has been done via homebrew, and it's incredibly creative. And I think we'd like to try and tap into that a little bit more," he said in reply to a question submitted to IGN by a reader.

    I highly doubt this "official homebrew" will feature free, downloadable games.

      Hehe, you got that right!

      At least homebrews won't be considered as bad as people would think now.

      Jack wasn't condoning the necessity to hack into the handheld, you dolt. He was, however, praising the outcomes and products of such an activity. If it was all fine and dandy with Sony that people were doing this, they wouldn't be working on official methods in which it can be done.

    I somehow doubt that Sony will be adding future homebrew support to the device...

    I guess not getting a brick would be a good thing but im sure they would if they do this limit you loads in what you can do, espically free games. I have to try homebrew myself sometime but I never do ¬¬
