Sony has launched a poll and questionnaire to a select group of gamers asking why they hack their PSP consoles. The poll is aimed to help sony understand why the hacking community is so prevalent on the PSP and exactly what they want from it as part of Sony's "ongoing PSP consumer research"."Sony has been embroiled in a heated battle with hackers since they cracked open the portable's software protection months after its release. Installing custom firmware is passed off as a way of opening up the console to seemingly innocent homebrew programs and home-made games, but it also allows the running of illegal game "back-ups". As well as seeking to find out how and why gamers seek to hack their PSP and how they view the risks involved, Sony also asks if hacking a PSP makes you "feel like a rebel".Maybe Sony haven't twigged onto the fact that most people do it for one of two reasons:
1. Free games and unrestricted applications
2. Its incredibly easy
