Firmware V2.0 thread.

[Pagnell]

People, I have created this sticky as we have the situation at the moment where threads about the new firmware are cropping up too often and the questions and comments in them are often repeated. So as a result, any questions or comments about the new firmware are to be posted in here. All the other threads are now going to be locked and any new posts about it will be deleted.

If you'd like it, here it is.

Here are the specs.

July 26, 2005 - As scheduled (if a little later than expected), the PSP 2.00 Update was released by Sony Computer Entertainment today in Japan.

I don't need a starbucks. I have a router in my room. It is awesome. I hope the US PSP site will open soon. Though looking at the korean and japanese ones are pretty impressive.

And, a lot of people said things like, "AWESOME and "SWEET" and "COOL'.

That is a prime quote.

Thanks?

Well, anyways, I found out that update version 1.5 comes in the UMD for Coded Arms, so is there a possibility that 2.0 will come with the next game that comes out?

[Constantine]

They probably will, just to have more control over their system.

Sweet. See, because I was planning on getting GitS:SaC, so if it'll have it in there, I don't have to sit here for two hours doing nothing.

[Constantine]

I'm not 1337 like you...what game?

Constantine

Ghost in the Shell- Stand Alone Complex.

[Constantine]

Aaaa. Sweet anime series. I recommend .

But the cool part is, you can be a Tachkoma, and rapell from ceilings and be invisable, have people in your trunk and junk like that. Smuggling hostages in your ass sounds like fun!
