Makes sense to allow this, if they had taken the same stance with the psp it may have been more popular. Almost all the firmware updates to the psp were to prevent people using it how they wanted to.

I misread the title as "Sony looking into Hebrew gaming on the PS3"

: / It's been a long day!

Anyway, if Sony did allow such things I think it would be great and a major selling point, especially to the geekier amongst us. I would respect them for it too, as long as it's not like Microsoft's XNA where you have to pay and is not being used much.
