Hah this will be classed as security update also i doubt they could force you to update with no coice because some people dont have wireless networks and i also doubt it tells them what pages you are viewing it will just be a security check to prevent firmware emulation

yes, i remember that
it was sony,
it put a virus on your pc if you tryed to rip it or play it,
i think it was a celin dion (spelling?) cd

and also, i think everyone on 1.5 should be safe from auto installation, since you cant upgrade straight to 2.8 with 1.5

omg who buys celine dion cds. She uber sucks whale weiners.

has anyone read the pspvualt article? i think u all should. If i understood correctly, what sony is trying to do is let web developers create web sites created specifically for the psp, such as games site, but the web develope has the power to shut down the browser through some code. This is alarming indeed, some idiot might setup a web page, ppl visit it and bam, something bad happens to their psp :-( F*** YOU SONY!!!

Oh lordy...what a mouthful.

If this is true, then their new slogan for 2.80 firmware should be:

"Play in our world, while we make a total mess of yours "
