Thanks to firmware 5.00, my PSP has started to get much more activity. I hadn't updated for a long time however I decided that it was time to finallyupdate yesterday and the new firmware is a very substantial update. It adds the PS Store to the PSP, so you do not need a PS3 or PC to download games, trailers, demos etcetera. The UMD games are also added to the PSN store, decreasing the price because now the UMD manufacturing is not a factor in price. So full games are no more than $23! An example would be Wipeout Pulse, which is only $15. You can also download PS1 games directly to your PSP now, which I intend to early next year. Another feature is the slick new XMB, which is very nice. And to add to the greatness, you can also download "original" PSN titles directly to your PSP which makes this the best Firmware to date, IMO.

Also I may have mentioned in one of my previous blogs that I purchased Tekken forthe PSP while I was on vacation. It is an excellent fighter for a handheld. I might post a review later on.

P.S. The polls close today, I wonder who the next President of the U.S.A will be :o
