I saw this on a french site about 1 week ago. It also said that firmware 4.0 would add go messenger to USA/Japan psp's

Flash 9 is quite possible since psptube uses a flash player to [play movies.

However i doubt these claims since apple are not likely to give liscencing rights to sony, a rival especially since ipod touch/phone uses mp4/mov (i think so)

This is old news and unconfirmed - merely rumors.

quite possible... i may say

All these new features sound great, hopefully some of these are real.

No DivX though huh? Damn!

Well, Go!Messenger would be cool as well as the added Remote Play stuff. Either way, its nice to see SONY stuff as many features as possible into the PSP's firmware.

is there even a BT in USA?

I thought Divx was already added?!?

What I really want is full remote play support, then I'll actually have time to play tekkendr online... at work,lol.

Seems like good progress on Sonys part. Hopefully its true. Anyone think the addition of Flash9 is due in some part to psp tube?

stopped using newer functions?

The psp phat apparently cant handle skype, even though go messenger has call/video and text which basically is the same.

But yes, i do agree that it might be possible for it to be slim exclusive, but psptube runs just fine on a phat psp.

just remember everyone, the flash player will be using the memory stick as the source

uh memory stick pro duo IS FLASH MEMORY, this is obviously fake. It was posted awhile ago saying 4.0 would come out on feb 31, which cant(and obviously didn't) happen cuz there aren't 31 days in febuary. It was just some joke

Holycrap if this is true, the PSP will be the best device ever. I'd take it everywhere! And I mean everywhere! To the shower, to the toilet, to the backyard, to the pool... AHH sounds too good!

Wouldn't flash player 9 allow us to have youtube and such in our psp browser :O, as for the other updates.. Useless

That's what I was thinking.

If it does turn out to be true, I gotta give credit where credit's due - that's a bloody great update. :)

its possible yet its just too good to be true

and sounds like most of this is bogus because the said the psp didnt support /g wireless and thats because (what i know) of hardware problems

seriously, how would they be able to fix it with software?

one bogus point leads to another, im not saying it wont happen but i highly doubt it

About time, If true.
Divx and Xvid anyone???

I can't believe ANYONE is believing this. It's so false that it's laughable.

I'd like to see this magical 802.11b to 802.11g upgrade via firmware update myself that the article talks about.

Even if most of it turns out to be false, a flash 7 or higher player is one of the things I would love to see on a psp. Curveball on PSP anyone? :D

I need new pants....

Well, prove us wrong then. I believe such things until some other source says the contrary. And your post was the laughable thing in my opinion.

Look up rumour 2, it seems more realistic and like something that sony would write:

Though disappointing in comparison it looks like it might be the real deal. The playlist thing would be cool but I doubt I will use it.

this really sounds too good to be true

Aaannd everyone misses my post. Joy. *sarcasm*

@andwhyisit don't worry i read your post...

and rumour2 sounds much more realer than the first one... But I though DivX playback was a guaranteed update... Guess $ony curvedball me AGAIN...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

*Oh* *my* *goodness*!!! Best laugh I've had all year! The PSP scene may be quieting down, but it's good to see that it can still generate jokes so obsurd that they make me bust my gut. Thanks Wraggster!

????Is it April already????

i wish there were no such thing as rumors.

Yea, im starting to think all this is fake as well. At least we have PSP Tube, which can hold me until Sony wises up and adds Flash9 to the PSP.
