The primary method of hacking a PSP to play homebrew apps and copied games is to modify a battery to put it in a mode that lets you flash custom firmware. This battery is still easily modded... but I'd be surprised if they were really killing the entire battery line for that, juts change the design to make it impossible to mod... They've had version that aren't possible to mod, why even continue to make hackable versions?
No I do not work for them. However I find it amusing that people cry or complain when one company stops making something... That others have for sale, and even at higher capacity...
