Not usually, yes, it's possible, but you'd have to download and run the virus on your PSP in order for it to get one.

Basically, a downgrader is a potential virus, not designed to ruin the psp but very capable of it.

any digital electronic device can get a virus. It's just a matter of how many are out there and if someone even bothered to make one.

People have no lifes. Virus's should be federal offenses. Even small ones. Computers store lots of personal information. IF a Hacker is caught, It should be just a serious as breaking into a bank or anywhere where they have money or records. IF someone made a PSP virus, they have no life and don't even deserve a physical one.

It is a serious offense depending on the circumstance.

The penalty for hacking the FBI servers would be immense.

So that means my microwave or george foreman grill can get a virus, screw up and cook my steaks for 1 bloody hour, and to microwave the leftovers of my jester pies would take an hour when i can just go across the road to get it for 5 bucks.

Lol, providing a electronic device has a computer chip controlling it then yes a virus could be uploaded to do such steak buring operations.

A old microwave works off mechanical timers i think, so i dont think they have computer chips in them.

Only my chips mmmmmmm
