[wraggster]

News from IGN

If you took the time to attend Sony's PSP University at the San Diego Comic Con this morning here is the only news of note you missed.

Turns out the PSP will work as a remote for the PS3. According to the speaker it will have additional functionality and interactivity with Sony's next-gen PlayStation 3, but more details weren't revealed.
Other info and bullet points you missed (not much news to anyone who has kept up):

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Pursuit Force are "great games" and "great reasons to own a PSP."

Ads for PSP Greatest Hits Collection which will be released on July 25.

Clips from upcoming games like Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.S. Fireteam Bravo 2, and Gangs of London (all of which look pretty cool).

Movie Trailers of movies coming to UMD format like Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space

PSP's firmware update next Thursday will offer RSS Video feed support for its web browser (it already supports RSS audio feed)

Thursday's firmware update will also have a demo of World Tour Soccer 2

There are no plans to improve text entry on the PSP and no plans for a first-party keyboard

Sony is in discussion with wireless providers to create more internet hotspots for your PSP to connect easily to the web

Video out is something they know is important and are working on getting done

Sony Connect is working on a way to provide downloadable movies (similar to the music they currently provide), but are held up trying to find a system to protect intellectual properties

If you stuck around through to the end of class Sony handed out 32MB Memory Sticks with demos and game trailers, too. Score!

napoleon dynamite, woooooooooooooooooooooo

I really wonder how long Sony would have waited to give us the RSS feeds if it wasn't for 2.71 getting hacked?

I thank the fine people who get us hacked firmware, because in my eyes they get Sony to release something worth while in their firmware.

They couldn't just release 2.72 (or whatever it will be called) and just say, this is to fix the new exploits that were found. Please install this.

well ur screwed already as far as homebrew is concerned so you may as well upgrade, but of course there is always the option of the undiluted platinum chip.
