Sony PSP and PS3 firmware udpates are out |
We knew some upgrades were coming for both these devices and today both the PSP 3.80 firmware and the PS3 2.10 firmware upgrades are available for download.
We haven’t seen the PSP 3.80 version available online yet but it is available through the Network Upgrade menu option directly on the PSP bringing streaming internet radio directly to the handheld device. In fact, I’m listening to the ShoutCast player on my PSP while writing this. You’ll need an Wi-Fi internet connection of course, and after installing the update there is a new menu option in the network settings for Internet Radio. Selecting it brings you to an “About” page that shows two different but similar players available for download to your Memory Stick, one from ShoutCast and the other from IceCast, each having 50 genres to choose from once downloaded.
The install of the players take only a few seconds and once downloaded each player shows up as a new option under Internet Radio in the Network menu. Selecting the player basically brings up a hosted web page that can be navigated like you would any other web page on the PSP letting you select links for options on the player which quickly and clearly brings some streaming radio to your PSP!
Also, that 2.10 PS3 firmware upgrade is available bringing some pretty cool features including DIVX and WMV support along with support for Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1. It also has a pretty cool voice-changing feature that lets you disguise your voice through chat.
