PSP firmware version 3.50 Soon
Over at the Sony Press release page comes details of whats new for the upcoming firmware release:
2. Use of Remote Play requires a powered up PS3 with Version 1.80 as well as PSP firmware version 3.50 which will be available at the end of May.
Lets hope theres more goodies than that
Whatever happened to those "downgrade proof" PSP's?

Exactly, Dark_AleX usually only turns firmwares to OE versions if they offer significant advances in regards to homebrew or how the majority use there PSP.
Since this is something to do with remote play on the PS3 and most people don't yet have a PS3 (myself included) I don't know if Dark_AleX will bother.
Its actually a good strategy because if every minor firmware update gets decrypted and turned into an OE, it gives SONY more opportunities to try and make their firmware harder to decrypt.
I'd rather wait for the major updates that include increased POPS compatibility, more PSP features, and better functionality.
But with all that said, I would not argue with a new OE firmware. Dark_AleX always delivers with his OE versions.
PS. What about that rumor a couple weeks ago about SONY shipping DOWNGRADE PROOF PSP's and a new firmware for download to go along with it?
Was that just a rumor? Or was SONY merely talking about PSP's with 3.10+ pre-installed? And is that that firmware that will be "downgrade proof"?
