buying a vita for homebrew ATM would be pointless, get a psp for that...
That's partly his point, partly completely missing his point. His point is, you don't buy any console just for homebrew. What he's saying is that homebrew is a "nice extra", but that the "main attraction" of a console is the official stuff. In other words, there is no point holding out on updating in the hopes for homebrew - homebrew isn't the reason the OP bought the console and chances are it won't be what he spends most time with if/when it happens. But once homebrew does come, if there are no official features being added that a particular person cares for, there is no point in them updating until there is a feature or game they want that requires an update. No one is buying a Vita for homebrew, unless they're rather stupid :?

This is kinda off topic, but there was no problem with updating from 6.39, considering there is 6.60 PRO (and it wasn't as if it took long after 6.60 came out for PRO to be released for it).
