Some hackers, yesterday

An exploit has been discovered that alledgely permits the use of 'custom' code - otherwise known as homebrew - on the PS Vita, according to Wololo.net.

Hacking the PSP was a popular pastime for many owners, and it would appear that the same desire to tinker is afflicting Vita fans.

It's hard to confirm the reports at this moment in time, and any exploit which does appear is likely to be patched up by Sony pretty quickly.

But still, it's amazing to see how resourceful some hackers are.

UPDATE: Eurogamer goes a little more in-depth here.
