I want to develop an online poker application similar to pokerstars.com for the PS2.  
1.  I've been told that Sony would not allow such a game on PS2.  Is that true, and why?  how do they control that?
2.  How do I find a good programmer or developer that I can trust who can help me produce the application?
3.  how does one produce disks that will work in unmodded PS2s?
4.  could this be done as a homebrew? or, thru sony licencing? or what?
