Major brands really fight hard for some insanely expensive air time during the broadcast. Of the major game systems, word is that the PSP is the only one to show up during this critical event. They’re making that valuable appearance by way of Coca-Cola, whose leverage is probably one of the most significant among all of the global brands.

Just take a peek for yourself. You’ll have to dissect the thematic imagery in order to get a well-rounded grasp…

As proud that we are that Sony is diligently improving its goods, our hearts are broken that OFW 5.03 brought its iron fist down on the GripShift exploit. Since the release of 5.03, word from the grapevine is that Miriam immediately went to work in his top-secret underworld laboratory to cook up a homebrew enabler. So far, though, the HEN hasn’t appeared online.

But at least there’s an explanation.

After a swift reconnaissance mission, MaGiXieN details for us some critical aspects of this tumultuous situation. Let’s take a look at his report:

The game studio THQ may, in fact, be closing its doors. Word on the grapevine is that internal discord is leading to a full shutdown. THQ has recently been in some trouble: Last November, they closed five studios altogether. According to our intelligence reports from behind corporate lines, THQ may be gearing up to officially announce their dissolution. It could be a total collapse of the company, or maybe just a restructuring. In either case, we’re pretty sure that what projects were in the queue are now significantly delayed, or even canceled. We’ll have to look into it. Sad times.

Sony just put up some numbers that reflect the cost-cutting activity happening at the corporate mega-level, high above the heads of the PlayStation Group.

The report states that, compared to last year, the games division is down 32% in revenue. Sales of hardware fell for each of their primary platforms. PS3 dropped 440,000 units. The PSP lost 680,000 units by selling just over 5 million. Even the PS2 took a big hit, selling just 2.52 million units.

We can expect that Sony would be in a little bit of a slump, given the current fiscal climate, but it’s likely that their pricing…

Developer Gaby_64 has just released the newest iteration of his treasured homebrew application, Aircrack-PSP. The application is an interpretation of DSaircrack. DSaircrack, of course, was a port of Aircrack-ng, a WEP/WPA-PSK key cracking utility. Gaby_64 elaborates on the situation:

This is not an actual port of the aircrack-ng, this is a port of DSaircrack to PSP (Well actually now it is) . But this will not just consist of cracking the cap file but also finding an AP, dumping packets in a cap file then decrypt it!

Currently its in testing. The decrypting part doesnt work right now (I used the DS…
