    Hackers figure out file extraction from Sony UMD

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Software developers have figured out how to extract files from the Universal Media Discs used in Sony Corp (SNE.N).'s (6758.T) new PlayStation Portable handheld video game device, though there is no way to play the games extracted from those discs.

    Some details of the exploit were posted Wednesday night on the Web site PS2nfo.com, along with lists showing all the files pulled off the game discs for "Ridge Racers," "Wipeout Pure" and "Vampire Chronicles."

    The games are not yet playable because there is no way to burn UMDs from scratch, and the PSP does not accommodate larger discs. However, the site said the ability to look through the games' file structures could still be instructive for developers.

    No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the noncommercial use by a consumer for making digital musical or analog musical recordings.

    Hillarious and with the 2 gig memory stick Duo up and coming I am sure there will be a way to play the games off the Flash memory. (eventually)
