Blocking PSP's from sites

Does anyone know how I can block Sony PSP's from my site. I've noticed from my server logs that I'm getting a lot of hits from them and for obvious reasons I'd like to stop it. Anything I can add to htaccess would be great. Thanks

i think the user-agent for PSPs is "http_x_psp_browser" but you could block any "psp" to be safe. I'm assuming you know how to do that with your .htaccess

Actually Sabin, no, I don't know what to add to the htaccess file. the User-Agent string is "Mozilla/4.0 (PSP (PlayStation Portable); 2.00)"

I *think* this should do the trick, but I'm not 100% certain as I copy/pasted and modified the code that I grabbed on another site, tho it looks fine and it seems it *should* work.

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_user_agent} http_x_psp_browser

RewriteRule ^$ http://www.google.com

This saved in the .htacces file in the site's / folder should take care to redirect PSPs to Google

I wouldn't send the traffic to google though, build a psp page and redirect it there.

Just a thought, if you can redirect them send them to Strictly Broadband UK PSP movies sections ;)
