    It seems like Sony's systems are destined to be hacked, despite all their efforts to prevent it. The PS3 and PSP (and now, the Vita) are powerful devices with a lot of potential that Sony keeps locked away; no wonder hackers like to fashion their own keys for them.

    That's exactly the case with the latest PS3/Vita exploit, which allows a PS3 with hacked firmware to stream full games to the Vita using remote play. You can see it in action in the videos above and below. CVG claims this is functionality that may eventually be supported by Sony, and that all PS3 games will be playable on the Vita, but that remains to be seen.

    For now, is hacking your PS3 worth it to take advantage of an exploit this cool? The Vita's screen is gorgeous, and these games ...

    PlayStation.Blog: What’s the scope of Mortal Kombat for PS Vita? Does it include all the content from the PS3 game?

    Ed Boon, Creative Director, Netherrealm Studios: It’s actually everything from the PS3 game: the entire Story Mode and all the downloadable characters and content, plus additional modes and features that are tailored for PS Vita. We really wanted to take advantage of Vita’s hardware.

    PSB: How have the graphics transitioned to PS Vita? Did you have to make any major graphical sacrifices from the PS3 version?

    EB:It’s interesting. We did have to reduce some of the polygon counts from the backgrounds and characters, but that screen is so bright, and it’s got such high pixel density…when I saw Scorpion ...

    Top 5 Project

    First of all, thanks to all the players who participated in this small project. Even if you did not hear from me after you private messaged me your list, be aware that I appreciate your contribution.
