a recent post on sony’s blog shows video footage of the upcoming firmware update allowing the psp to directly access the playstation store over wi-fi, potentially as soon as the 15th of october
too little, too late?
sony also seem to be placing more focus on making old ps1 games and existing umd-based psp games available to download via the store. that at least might give reason for psp fans to get excited about this news
whenever your PSP is connected to the Internet over WiFi, you’ll be able to download and enjoy the latest games, demos and trailers on the go without needing to sync up to your PS3 or PC
the problem is that the ‘latest games’ don’t really amount to much as the number of new psp game releases have dried up lately. however, it is good news that sony seem to be moving away from trying to tie every new exciting psp feature into also having to own a ps3 to get it working. this is an update that is long overdue
it’s also been reported that the update will enable more video out functions on the psp-2000 and upcoming psp-3000 units
The PSP-2000’s video-out feature will be able to display PlayStation format software (classics titles) at the full-screen size of the TV that the PSP is connected to; the feature will also support interlace displays
