No, they can't require you to update for this. O_o It just makes it into a PSP-readable movie format, the same type that you could make on your own. There are no special options or security, so it can't even read what firmware you have.

^^ So, no.. no firmware updates for this.

On the issue at hand.. Sony's yet again proving to be uncannily dumb. They offer four wretched movies that can be encoded in a format that we could all do at home? Yeah.. great job.

they should listen to customers like quoted above why sell crappy movies in 320x240 res when we can get it off dvd in full psp res off dvds??? hello? dvd's are cheaper and more usable. if sony listened they would make craploads of more money. if they allowed legal homebrew "non pirated stuff" then they would not waste money on "stopping" home brew especially since they can only slow hackers down. heh that makes me think, do any sony employees have 1.5 psp's? i can see it perfectly the head ceo of sony has a 1.5 psp and uses home brew but he has to hide it from employees.
