Late last night, Sony secretly released the long awaited PSP Firmware Version 3.0, and is now available for only under the network update. The update includes interesting music visualizations, camera support, and much more.

This update includes the following changes:

• PLAYSTATION Network titles are now supported under [Game].
• [Remote Play] has been added as a feature under [Network].
• [Online Instruction Manuals] has been added as a feature under [Network].
• Timed recording has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].
• A visual player has been added as a feature under [Music].
• 3-speed fast forward and fast reverse has been added as a feature under [Music].
• [Camera] has been added as a feature under [Photo].
• [UMD Auto-Start] has been added as a feature in [System Settings] under [Settings].

From PSP Fanboy:
For those of you that don’t have wi-fi access, I have provided a downloadable update for you. Connect your PSP via USB, and then go to the PSP/GAME folder. Create the folder “UPDATE” and place the EBOOT file there. From your PSP, access your Memory Stick’s games, and choose the update.

Certificate Utility: used to authorize the PSP to play downloaded games, I assume.

Helps you use every feature of your PSP. Not bad.

Chotto Shot coming soon? Hope so.


Best part of 3.0? No more UMD game auto-loading. Yes!
