PSP Firmware 6.00 Released.

As predicted today Sony released PSP Firmware 6.00 which now includes updates specific to the PSP Go which is set to be released in October. While I was looking around at exactly what’s new in Firmware 6.00 there is nothing too special too report. There are a few new theme colors and really that’s about it….No DivX support or anything like that. Time to flash back to Custom Firmware I think.

PSP Firmware 6.00 changelog:

PlayStation Store Games can now be grouped and displayed in folders based on their expire date under [GAME]

Importing of playlists from the Media GO! applications is now supported under Music

Under [Settings] > [Network Update] has been changed to [System Update]

The number of Colors that can be selected under [Settings] > [Theme Settings] has been increased

The PSP GO! system can now connect to the Internet via a Bluetooth modem such as a mobile phon

Revisions to strengthen security has been added. (Internet Browser)

You can download it either by System update or below from us.

PSP Firmware 6.00

Is Firmware 6.00 due this week? That’s the question, and by the looks of it yes it will be out according to a comment made by Allison Walter of Nippon Ichi Software America. The below comment was made when replying to fan’s comment of the Holy Invasion Of Privacy Badman demo.

Hi Killzone_Kid! This is what has been decided for the Badman demo: we’re going to re-release it next Thursday, 10 Sept, by which time Firmware 6.0 should have been released. Sorry for the wait!

PSP Firmware 5.50 Tomorrow

Sony have posted on their offical blog that the release of Firmware 5.50 is due tomorrow. While its releasing a couple of big new features. No doubt its come out sooner rather than later to patch up the recent TIFF Exploit found. Users wanting to take advantage of the TIFF Exploit might want to advoid this update when its released tomorrow.

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.

In addition, we’ll be adding a few more enhancements with the 5.50 update:

* Memory Stick improvements – You’ll be able to create and access sub-folders on your Memory Stick PRO Duo for music, videos and photos. Separately, the available space required to download a file from PlayStation Store to your Memory Stick has been reduced significantly.
* Internet search for games directly from the XMB – You’ll be able to easily search the Internet for information about your PSP games. Select the icon for the game, hit the Triangle button, and then select [Internet Search] from the options menu to get search results based on the game title. This feature was added to PS3 with the recent 2.70 update.
* Trend Micro trial – PSP’s Internet browser is a great tool for checking out your favorite Web sites on the go, and we’re teaming up with the Internet security experts at Trend Micro to make the Web browsing experience safer and more secure. With the 5.50 update, you’ll have the option to access a free trial of two Trend Micro services:
Trend Micro Web Security uses Web reputation technology to block PSP owners from accidentally visiting a Web site that may contain malicious content designed to steal personal information and confidential data.
Trend Micro Kids’ Safety uses URL filtering technology to prevent children from accessing Web sites that feature inappropriate content.

Sony have released Official PSP Firmware 5.03,well we have no comments on exactly what this does. It seems there are no updates or added features other than to fix a security vulnerability found in the latest PSP system software revision? Hmmm that sounds like they have patched the Gripshift savegame exploit / hack for the PSP-3000. So if I was a PSP-3000 owner I wouldn’t jump on the bandwagon and download this.

Its available over the network update on your PSP or the direct link from Sony below:
