Sony PSP Firmware 3.80 Update To Bring Internet Radio Functionality and More PDF Print E-mail
Written by Alexis Morgenstern   
Wednesday, 12 December 2007
A press release on the Sony Playstation Japan website gives details on what's coming in the Sony PSP Firmware 3.80 update. Thanks to a translation on the US Playstation Forums, we can tell what PSP System Update 3.80 is all about:

- PSP will now support streaming audio through the internet connection.
- You can now do a scene-search in video (search for beginning of each scene or clip). This is under the video feature.
- RSS will now support opml file. You can subscribe to multiple channels which is saved in opml file. And now, RSS will also support picture (photo).
- You can now schedule 1Seg TV tuner to record your favorite show at a certain time (similar to Tivo). This feature will only work on the new slim (PSP-2000).
- PlayStation Spot is now also available at BB Mobile Point (only in Japan).

Not all the functionality will be coming to the US release, and there's been no details from SCEA on it. The update is scheduled for Japan on December 18th, so keep a lookout the week of December 17th. See screenshots below of the PSP's Internet Radio feature, which shows as being powered by SHOUTcast.

UPDATE 12/17/07: Firmware 3.80 is now available.

Come on Sony, after firmware 3.80, add divx and xvid playback to PSP Slim. Then see more PSP's being sold because of this
