Three hacker teams unlock the PSP

Article from the bbc website http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6397797.stm
Sony sells its PSP with built-in software, known as firmware, which controls how the console operates.
The firmware locks many of the PSP' s capabilities, preventing enthusiasts from writing their own programs, known as homebrew, and running them on the machine.
It also limits its ability to play some films which are not bought on special Sony PSP disks.
But last month three hacker teams - Noobz, Team C+D, and a group led by PSP hacker Dark Alex - co-ordinating their efforts over the internet, found a flaw in the most recently released version of the firmware - version 3.03.
For those of you who has PSP, I guess this is good news. Now homebrew games, applications and videos are now accessible.

They found a flaw but theres no downgrader or launcher yet. That and you need a copy of Liberty City Stories too.
