New PS3 and PSP Firmware Incoming

2
Updated firmware for both PS3 and PSP will be available "in the next few days," PlayStation Network operations director Eric Lempel noted on the PlayStation Blog.

On the PS3 side of things, the 1.93 firmware will address some "network disconnect issues" that resulted from the 1.92 update, which Sony ever so vaguely said fixed some compatibility and playability issues.

As for the console's portable little brother, the PSP's 3.71 firmware will arrive the right on the heels of the 3.70 update that hit earlier this week. 3.70 added support for themes--said to eventually be made available from PlayStation.com, the official PSP site, and the PlayStation 3's online PlayStation Store--allowed music playback during photo viewing, provided the option to play movies in sequential order, and let users tweak button assignments in Remote Play.

The changes of the 3.71 update were not detailed, though the quick turnaround and the .01 progression suggests it addresses security and or stability problems.

      Yeah but the rest of the community is on the ball. I mean the PSP Slim lasted a day or two. No real reason to worry about his retirement.

      When are Sony going to wake up and smell the potential here. The homebrew crowd is HUGE with alot of potential and it would grow alot bigger if officially given the proverbial nod by Sony.

      For Sony:
      Sony, this thing is ripe for the picking, instead of making people jump through hoops to hack their PSP's, open it up and release an SDK, the PSP will become the most popular handheld device around.
