New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bet-it's-harder-to-hack dept.

Volksport writes "Sony has released a new major firmware update for the PSP, bringing it to v2.00 (This link points to the install file). This new version offers updates such as a built-in web browser (User agent says it is Mozilla/4.0) and Korean language support. Although it was only released in Japan so far, it installs normally on US PSP systems." This version apparently breaks all hacks so far too.

    When is Sony going to support WPA for the built-in wireless? I find it absurd that they haven't added support for it yet.

    Have you ever played a ds? They can play gba games too. DS has metroid and then they basically gave up. I'm not looking to have a /. argument. I think we agree that DS is weak and psp pwnz0rs and that's the important bit.

    So you're going to drop another $250? $250 is a lot of money just to play Super Nintendo on the go...

    I remember when the PSP launched... fans all over were saying how the PSP was better than the DS because of superior graphics, and that those superior graphics justified the higher price tag. Now, those same fans whine because they want to play GBA and SNES games on their PSP. Talk about awesome graphics...
