PlayStation Home hacked, the search for backup exploits begins
Filed under: Gaming
Hackers, like life, will find a way. Sony knows that all too well thanks to the PSP, but so far the PlayStation 3 has stood strong in the face of legions of nerds trying to find a way to exploit it. A potentially major breakthrough may have been made, though, as well-known PS3 hacker StreetskaterFU (we've no idea what he's going for with that name -- really) has managed to decrypt the beta client for Sony's PlayStation Home service. Curious devs can now poke around in the files looking for a way to exploit the newish in-game XMB functionality, potentially allowing homebrew apps and game backups without hard drive swapping. There's no guarantee it will lead anywhere in the end, but you don't care either way, right? Our upstanding readership would never participate in such heinously illegal activities.[Thanks, James]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Arts, Briefly: Koran Quotations Found in Video Game
The release of a highly anticipated video game for the PlayStation 3 console has been delayed after the discovery that its background music included quotations from the Koran. Little Big Planet, right, which was supposed to be released Tuesday, has long been in development, and Sony had hoped to have it in stores for the holiday retail season. According to a post by a Sony spokesman, Patrick Seybold, on the official Sony PlayStation blog (blog.us.playstation.com), the game’s developers discovered that one of the “background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found†in the Koran, which some may find offensive.

Sony says 5.01 PSP firmware update will fix Memory Stick problems
Filed under: Gaming
Sony got a lot of things right with its 5.0 firmware update for the PSP, with the PlayStation Store and its direct downloads making a long awaited appearance, but it looks to have caused a bit of a problem for folks with high-capacity Memory Sticks -- namely, it was reporting that 8GB or 16GB cards are full when, in fact, there's plenty of free space left on 'em. Ever the one for a do-over, Sony now says that it's aware of the problem and that the 5.01 firmware update will sort everything out when it's released "soon."[Via PSP Fanboy]
