Hi everyone, the next system software update (v5.50) for PSP (PlayStation Portable) will be available soon, and I wanted to provide you all with a preview of some of the key features.
The firmware update will introduce an Information Board on the PSP system’s XMB (XrossMediaBar) interface. Those of you who have a PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) may be familiar with this feature, which displays news and updates from the world of PlayStation in a scrolling ticker in the upper right-hand corner of your TV screen. Now you’ll be able to read up-to-date information about upcoming games, new content available on PlayStation Store, and other news right on your PSP whenever you’re at a wireless Internet hotspot.
/// i don't know about you but the #Information Bar# on my PS3 has to be the least used feature it has, even behind #Life with Playstation# which seems to have been totally ignored by Sony, what happened to all the promises of that project? now, if the info' bar let us add RSS feeds from sites we actually like and not just some randomly updated Sony posts i would use the thing everyday to check out what's going on in the blogosphere and that would lead to needing a PC even less. why NOT let us do it Sony?
ps: rewired the apartment this weekend with much new red Ethernet cable. great fun. i wish they'd hurry up and wire in the new big sat' dish though, it's been repositioned three times now and the coax cable is just hangin there.. taunting me with is downlink potential.
I haven't used my PSP in yonks. I have an old phat one with that came with firmware 1.5. I think I'll wait for Dark Alex inevitable 5.5 M33 firmware and then update to that (presumably after jumping through a few hoops - install this version first, download this, update that, then install kernal add-on gubbins, etc...).
ReplyDeletealways been too scared of bricking my PSP to try custom firmware, not that i use the PSP much anyway. a portable media player yeah for taking 'back-ups' of films or music over to a mates to play though their amp/tv using the a/v cable.
