Sony May Complete RSS Support For PSP

Posted by Zonk on Monday December 5, 2005 @12:40PM from the getting-what-you-want dept.

Taro Taka writes "A Sony spokeswoman has actually admitted they will stop crippling the PSP's RSS functionality if enough customers ask for it." From the article: "SCEI will consider adding compatibility for RSS text feeds should users request it, said Nanako Kato, a spokeswoman for SCEI in Tokyo. The support for podcasts allows users to stream audio content to the PSP. The system supports feeds compatible with RSS 2.0 and encoded in the MP3 or AAC (MPEG4) formats. The firmware update also added support for Windows Media Audio files, direct download of copy-protected content through the PSP's Web browser, and Chinese-language character encoding." We just mentioned the rollout of the limited RSS functionality they already support.

GameCube had online support since day one. I have a broadband adapter on mine and owned an online game (Phantasy Star Online). Nintendo didn't want to make their own games playable online, but that wasn't stopping a single third party developer from using it.
