Bringing downloadable games to PSP is one of the next things to tackle for Sony. echochrome was originally meant to be a downloadable PSN game for PSP, but it became much larger than anticipated. "It was initially going to be a download-service-only game," Koller said. "We changed it to a UMD because it's a very rich game. That's where their mind is. They're developing that kind of game." Thankfully, other downloadable PSP games are in the works. When can we expect them? In the next six to eight months.
In regard to the homebrew scene, Koller says that there were no talks between Sony and Dark_Alex, saying that "I think he's taking a hiatus." For even more, please visit MTV News for more.

why do I have a feeling that Dark_Alex is now faced down in some lake somewhere?
I mean, the guy 'went missing' from the public eyes weeks before Sony's new PSP and never to be heard again. How convienent for Sony to have a new PSP in the market with firmware that might never be hacked. :)

I find it hilarious that the person who is continuing to steal my SN happens to be a pro-DRM and Anti-Homebrew guy. Am I sensing some kind of "cleansing" by Sony PR staff to get rid of all users who is behind Dark Alex (AKA DA... sensing a Harry Potter reference coming). ;)
actually, I find it more funny that my sn "kingofwale" mentioned in the same sentence as "anti homebrew". lol
all this after my big debate with txa about such issue. Nice try #2, but it's not always so hard to imitate someone else. :)

I agree somewhat, I already have Locationfree TV, so it's not as big a problem for me.
I personally feel the biggest improvement will be the battery-life. with my already owned 2100 battery, it should (according to Sony) pump out more than 12 hours of battery life
with honorable mention to 'doubling of the ram', which will help with the load time.

Well, it seemed there was far more to Dark_AleX than the Sony involvement. It seemed to easy to claim there was a little threat somewhere. I think he just wanted to go out without saying 'I give up.' Look at how fast M33 does stuff.

@9: but would any adult be caught dead playing whatever lame kiddie game Nintendo came up with for the camera? Remember the Game Boy camera and printer? What a piece of crap that was.
@4: Maybe in a year and a half when US TV broadcast signals are switched from analog, then they'll think of releasing it here.
