I just downloaded the new firmware to my psp (a japanese unit) so now I have the same firmware as all of you who bought one last night and today. I was glad to see how simple the process was. All I did was select system updates and my psp did the rest. Great for all of us to know for the future as sony will hopefully make more updates as time goes on.

yeah same here, I updated too took me awhile because I had to update the router firmware before my psp was able to connect to the internet.

So... the psp can connect to the internet for updates, but not games?

I guess so. I have a router at home, but I haven't tried online gaming yet. I'll try later tonight.

Potentially the PSP could get game demos off the internet but it isn't something Sony is promoting yet. It may be part of a future update. They'll probably enable demo sharing from their in-store kiosks via the game sharing feature sometime in the next year.

I did the same.

I also connected to the game lobbies for NBA but noone would accept my challenges :(

I've also tried tunneling the PSP through KAI but you need a wireless CARD for that

enable link pls

Comments like this make me wonder why people who state sed comments even frequent this board. If your still using 1.5 firmware all your playing are emulators. No current games, your not purchasing anything ,not supporting the community with views, not supporting the system with game purchases. Lastly why would you pay 250 dollars for a portable emulator machine *boggle*.

Your ignorance is amazing. 1.5 can play ALL PSP games, including ACTUAL UMD's.

Gotta love trolls...

Do a little search. Its called DEVHOOK. It emulates 2.0-2.71 firmwares FULLY! and lets you play UMDs without having to upgrade.

actually it wasnt a trolling attempt and what are you doing ripping them off the disk somehow. I remember reading several games needed at least 2.7 firmware to play that was my understanding of it. Way to be an ass explaining it though

thanks for explaining it. I didnt bother with working around the firmware updates since I bought the thing to play PsP games so the updates don't really bother me basically if it dosent crash the system then I don't care. Its nice those of you that want to keep 1.5 forever have a way to keep it on your system kudos to you. I don't see homebrew being worth the hassle of having all this junk on the system myself but to each their own.

Not gonna flame, but if you search the PSP forum I have commented on what I consider almost every elite release this year.

And in the 90s I literally dreamed of having a portable SNES without having to carry around carts.
