Sony gives a stateside releasedate for the PSP’s v2.0 Firmware
Posted by inpheaux on August 2nd, 2005 at 11:52 am
Yesterday, Sony announced the releasedate for the North American PSP 2.0 Firmware update - August 12th. The update will have all the same features present in the Japanese firmware released in mid-July (such as the highly-anticipated PSP web browser), with the bonus feature of not voiding your warranty like Sony says installing the Japanese 2.0 Firmware will.
As always, if you upgrade to this firmware, you'll be nuking your ability to play homebrew applications, so you'll have to choose between "ability to run just about every emulator ever and more to come" or "a web browser with a less-than-intuitive interface". Hopefully this will be an easy decision for most people.
