Dark_alex is the PSP legend, period!!!
Team GEN is awesome too!
Total_Noob brought upon kind of a revolution by being the first one (corrent me if I'm wrong) to hack 6.XX firmware. It's his choice if he doesn't support piracy. So wee just had to use stuff like aloader, promethus iso loader, etc...
Neuron & Team PRO are like the DUDES of today. They are doing such a great job, to keep the PSP scene alive!

BUT the bottomline is that PSVita is gonna come out, new hackers are gonna come out too (some might even become legends).
Gonna buy it as soon as it releases:)
