I wanted to give a quick heads up to everyone that a new PSP firmware update, v4.05, will be released soon. We know that more and more of you are listening to music on your PSP, and this update will add new visualizers for music playback, among other features. Enjoy!

Lol new visualizers. Thanks for the post though.

[freakyzeeky]

Yay! More visualizers! :D

[Purkeynator]

I visualize another crappy update. --Meanwhile Dark Alex invents save states to save any game at anytime on your PSP. Viva la CFW!

[MagicChicken]

Not exactly the best update. -.-

Makes me regret ignorantly upgrading from 1.50

[whoknows]

Eh...it's better than nothing.

Did the PSP ever get Divx support? I find that of more interest than visualizers.

[SynGamer]

You would think Sony would have divx support on the PSP since the PS3 does as well...

[Foo228]

if we could listen to music while a game is loading or even while scrolling through photos, that'd be worth an update...visualizers? meh

I still don't know how custom firmware figured out multitasking so long ago while Sony doesn't even seem to know what that means.

[GuilewasNK]

Cool.

There is only one visualizer even worth using right now.

[Hibiwa]

Is it too hopeful to focus on the "among other features"? Probably. It's par for the course when it comes to SONY firmware updates.

While the official changelog of firmware 4.05 is underwhelming, it does feature a key hidden feature: support for movie and TV service. According to this support page on PlayStation.com (http://playstation.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/playstation.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=929&p_created=1199990363&p_sid=Wdtu*L8j&p_accessibility=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfc m93X2NudD04OTYmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N 2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfc GFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1), "Support for PLAYSTATION®Store Movies and TV video service" has also been added in firmware 4.05. Undoubtedly, we're going to find out more about this service during tomorrow's E3 conference.

Stay tuned.

I found a used Lumines (Serial ULUS 10002). Can this UMD be used to downgrade my firmware and start homebrewing?

My Pandora battery didn't work, so I haven't had a chance to try CFW yet. What multitasking things can you do with CFW?

[bornrunnin31]

Saw the bit about movie/tv playback as well. Hopefully it means an announcement tomorrow that their video store will be launching soon.

With irshell I know for sure that you can play music during games and while browsing the web. Not sure about pictures, but I think you can... While playing games you can mute different channels to mute the game's music but keep the SFX, for example. It works really well.

[GuilewasNK]

Wow, the new visualizers are kinda meh.

I was expecting more than that.

[JMEPO]

I've heard you can now download your favorite porn straight to your psp from the Playstation store with the new firmware update! Thanks Sony!
