PSP Firmware 5.00 Update
As demonstrated at the Tokyo Game Show last week, the PSP firmware 5.00 update will add direct PlayStation Store access to the system, eliminating the need for PSP to be connected to a PC or PS3 to download content. PSP owners will be able to download games, demos, trailers, and other game-related content anytime and anywhere that their PSP system is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. This functionality delivers on the portable promise of PSP, making the device even more compelling for gaming and entertainment on-the-go.
Additional enhancements delivered through PSP firmware 5.00 will include:
- On-screen keyboard – A full-size, QWERTY on-screen keyboard will be added to make text entry during Web browsing easier and more convenient.
- Sleep timer – During music playback, a sleep timer will enable users to shut off their PSP system after a specified amount of time.
Video-out – The PSP-2000’s video-out feature will be able to display classic PlayStation® format titles at the full-screen size of the TV that the PSP is connected to; the feature also will support interlace displays.
As you may or may not have heard, the PSP is getting a sweet new firmware update soon. Care to hear the details? Read on.
We are definitely excited at the chance to download demos and full games straight to our Memory Sticks, but I’ve gotten pretty used to typing on the keyboard already in place. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we know when 5.00 goes live.
