For those of you like me out there, most PSP games are not worth $40 when you can get PS3 or 360 games new, especially during the holiday season, for $40 and play them on a big screen and in HD.

PS3Life.nl writes: It's been no secret that piracy literally destroys the PSP. PSP pirates, however have weak excuses like: 'Otherwise I wouldn't have bought the game anyway' or 'I'll pay already for games on my PS3. It seemed us interesting to ask one of the best PSP developers what they think about PSP piracy.
