PSP Firmware 4.0 Available Soon

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve got lots of emails from people asking me when PSP firmware 4.0 will be released. At the time, my spies told me early June, so I think I might have blogged about it. But weeks went past, and still no show.

Anyway, if you read the Playstation blog, you probably know that one of the main dudes released a letter or something, saying that PSP firmware 4.0 is coming soon. Now this is cool for everyone who wants it. Especially those who like to search for stuff.

You see, the firmware upgrade will let you access a Google-powered Internet search directly from the handheld’s XMB, provided you’re connected to a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot. Pretty cool. Also, you will be able to use the variable-speed video playback function is being added to the system. That means if you press up or down on the D pad, you’ll be able to speed up or slow down the action that’s being displayed from a Memory Stick.

Anyway, there’s lots of stuff they could have done. Like added 1000’s of psp games and movies for us. But it should be ok. Whenever they release it.
