Here Comes The Bait...

BetaNews is reporting "Sony said Thursday that a software update for the PlayStation Portable next week would add the capability to surf the Web and watch video clips. The Web browser will be HTML 4.01-compatible and will be able to display most Websites."

What this means to you and me is they are adding extra functionality to lure people into using a firmware that doesn't allow you to run homebrew or copied games. While I haven't been too impressed with the available selection of native PSP games, I have thoroughly enjoyed the homebrew and emulators available via the 1.50 exploits. It will take a lot for me to willingly update my PSP. I use it daily but between listening to audiobooks while I walk and playing with homebrew/emulators, I don't play much in the way of native PSP games. I am anxiously awaiting Burnout Legends though and have my fingers tightly crossed that it doesn't disappoint. I guess we'll have to wait and see...
