PSP Firmware 5.0 Update Details From SCEA; Direct PlayStation Store Access PDF Print E-mail

The new PSP system update 5.0 is now available. One of the notable new features is the new direct access to the PSP's PlayStation Store, which was previously only possible via a PC. Also, the PSP-2000 will be now able to show classic PlayStation games full-screen when using the video out (this may have been a feature on the 4.2 update found only on the PSP-3000).

Here's the details directly from SCEA:
"As demonstrated at the Tokyo Game Show last week, the PSP firmware 5.00 update will add direct PlayStation Store access to the system, eliminating the need for PSP to be connected to a PC or PS3 to download content. PSP owners will be able to download games, demos, trailers, and other game-related content anytime and anywhere that their PSP system is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. This functionality delivers on the portable promise of PSP, making the device even more compelling for gaming and entertainment on-the-go.

Additional enhancements delivered through PSP firmware 5.00 will include:
- On-screen keyboard – A full-size, QWERTY on-screen keyboard will be added to make text entry during Web browsing easier and more convenient.

- Sleep timer – During music playback, a sleep timer will enable users to shut off their PSP system after a specified amount of time.

- Video-out – The PSP-2000’s video-out feature will be able to display classic PlayStation® format titles at the full-screen size of the TV that the PSP is connected to; the feature also will support interlace displays."
