As Of Yesterday Sony Released Its Much Anticipated Software Update 3.0 For The Playstation Portable. And While Some Were Disappointed In The Lack Of Rumored Features I Had Low Expectations To Begin With. I Mean After All, Everything We Knew For The Most Part Was Rumor.

So From What I Got I Was Satisfied. From What Iv Had, This Was The "Most Significant" Update Yet.

With It:
- UMD Start Up on/off Option
- Visualisations With Music Player (5 In All, 6 Including Random)
- Faster fastforward/rewind speeds (3x faster option)
- Online Insturction Manual
- Camera Ready (For The Furture Release Of The PSP Camera)
- Remote Play With The PS3
- Plays PS1 Emulated Games Via Downloading Them Through The PS3 Via The Playstation Online Store.

This Last Feature While Very Innovative and An Excellent Addition To The PSP, It Has Some Red Flags To Go Along.

Not Only For The Time Being (It Is, Like Everything Else, Rumored That Eventually PS1 Titles Will Be Avalible Via The Internet Or Wifi Connect For Download) Do You Have To Have A PS3. Hear Are Some Other Snags.

In This Recent News Article

Sony States Prices For The PS1 Titles Will Range From $5.99 to $10.99. This Im Ok With. Its Simlar To iTunes Which I Support. I Feel The Prices Are Fare and Reasonable.

But Also Note Worthy In The Above Article Is The Size Said Games Will Take Up On Your PSP. 140-550 MB!

I Personally Have 2, 1 GB Memory Cards. One For Which I Store Music and One For Which I Have Videos. So In The Near Future I May Interuse The Video Card For Games and Video But Still. I Know That These Sizes Most Likely Are As Scaled Down As They Will Come, But 1-4 Games Per Memory Card Cme Down To Sony Whispering In Our Little Ears "Buy More Memory Cards"

I For One Will Not. Im In College. Im On A Tight Buget So As It Is. I Know That All I Need To Do Is Delete A Game and Put A New One On When I Feel Like Changing. But What Sony Is Doing Buy This Is Marketing Off Of Lazy America. They Know That People Will Want To Be Able To Pop That Emulated Game In And Play It. So Once Again, Right Back To The Fact That They Want You To Buy More Memory Cards (Or Higher Sized Ones). They Want You To Have Your Cake and Be Able To Eat It Too......

I To This Day Am and Always Will Be A Sony Fanboy. Not Only Do I Love Them For Gaming, But Electronics In General. I Just Feel That Sony Is Milking Us Big With This One. Just Like The "Cows" We Are.
