US PSP 2.00 on August 12

Related Topics – PSP, Sony, Games: PC

Sony has announced that the version 2.00 firmware update for PSP will be released in North America on August 12. It will be available from Sony's PSP website and can be transferred either wirelessly or by way of a Memory Stick. Of note to those who have already installed the Japanese update:

Sony released the update in Japan on July 27. Although the update works on North American PSPs, Sony warns owners that downloading the update will void the PSP's warranty, and American PSP users should wait until August 12 to download the US release, which has been thoroughly tested on US PSPs. Sony has not said whether or not the US version will include additional features.

Gadzooks!

Just install it now. It's great.

Then install PSPWare (iPSP sucks) and sync your bookmarks so you don't have to manually type that crap in.

Actually those that contacted Sony Help Support (or whatever they call it) were told that the Japanese updates doesn't void your warrenty. However, they said that if you encounter a problem or an error, you need to contact SCEJ.

Already installed the japanese patch. Oh well.

So far everything is working great. Still trying to get used to the browser, but the wallpaper feature is great. Got a lovely picture of Angelina Jolie to look at while I listen to music. :)
