Confirmed: PSP FW 5.00 required for PSP Store, may go live next week |
Ó
And there we have it, folks! PSP firmware 5.00 is confirmed to go live in Japan some time soon - probably on or before October 15.
The screencap shown above was taken from the official PlayStation Store website of Sony Japan. The page discusses how users could access the PSP Store, and in one of the bulleted items, it says that users are required to have FW 5.00 (or higher) running on their PSP.
The reason why we say "on or before October 15" is because the PSP Store launches on that date in Japan. SCEJ will then (most likely) have to release FW 5.00 on or before that date so the users can prep their handheld units for PSP Store access as soon as the launch date hits.

first to post ahahahhahahah
till dark alex makes 5.00 m33
your first? how? what if somebody view the site BUT never made a comment? So that means their first and your not. So GTFO
with the memory limitations to the fat psp, will this run on it? sony was *****ing stupid for putting 32mb memory in the psp fat.
Same here but if he doesn't ill go back to official firmware until he does
he clearly specified first POST, sooo... despite his n00by appendage, i'm sorry to say that he still pwned you...
They better put more stuff in the firmware too, like having a "legal" music "plugin thing" like the music plugin that lets you listen to music in-game, they haven't added much new to the psp like how it took them until like v3.?? to let you be able to listen to music while veiwing photos, like wtf they have crappy additions to the psp's firmware, and they sent out a survey asking why people hack their psps...
Dark Alex released a plugin just for this exact situation. With the plugin enabled, the PSP reports back whatever PSP version number you put in the plugin's configuration file.
Does this mean that the psp 3000 wont be moddable...Damn i sold my slim and I was gonna wait a bit to see what they say on it. O well...
admit it or not, one thing why PSP increases its sales is due to homebrews specially in poor countries who can't afford umd games. We don't really know whats the strategy
I don't really use OFW, so all this is meaningless until DA makes the M33 version :) Everything else aside I am NOT playing my GTA:VCS or TR:A in anything less than 333mhz.
Nice well I dont use Homebrew too afraid it might screw up my psp slim hehe.
homebrew cant screw up your psp as long as it doesn't flash anything which is more than 95% of all homebrew apps
Deal with that. Guess what kid? If you buy a car (say Honda Civic) in the early 80's there is no air bag, no power steering, no power lock, no alarm etc etc. Yet if you get a 2008 Civic you can get some of the above as standard feature. So why are you complaining 1st gen PSP not completely identical to 2nd or 3rd gen?
