  1. Let's See If I Care by MBCook · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I've got a PSP with firmware 2 or 2.5. Let's see if I care. Here is what they offer me to upgrade:
    • RSS Support - Don't care
    • Improved Browser - Don't care
    • WMA Support - Don't care

    Why should I care? I have a computer for web-browsing, a iPod for music, and that same computer for RSS support. I'll get the upgrade when it is forced on me by some game.

    How about fixing what I see as the PSP's biggest problem (that can be fixed with firmware): WPA SUPPORT. Why can't it support WPA? It can! I don't see why it shouldn't be able to. Why should I have to run WEP? This is the same complaint I have with Nintendo and the DS.

    WPA has been out for years, why won't you let me USE it game companies?
