The latest firmware for the PSP – version 4.05 was released yesterday and at first glance according to the release notes didn’t appear to offer anything tangible other than some new effects to the visual music player. However after an article appeared on the Playstation Knowledge Base, these were then amended to read as follows:
- New effects have been added to the visual player under
(Music). - Support for PLAYSTATION®Store Movies and TV video service.
Details are sketchy at this point as to how the support for the movies and TV Video service will work, with many bloggers speculating that Sony will reveal more in their press conference at E3 later today. The other possibility is that this is simply the back-end support for the Go!View service launched this week in the UK and Ireland in collaboration with subscription TV provider Sky. Sony Insider will keep you posted on this as soon as we have more information.
Meantime the new firmware is available via Network Update or via the local Playstation websites.
