Sony released firmware 2.71 in Japan. But it shouldn't take long before it is available to the rest of the world. Note that this update is only for people who bought a Japanese Playstation Portable.
New features in this update are:
- Downloading of demo's using the psp browser and saving them to the memory stick.
- Some bugs with video output using the Location Free Player are fixed.
- New icon has been added called Portable TV.
Another fairly unknown feature in this update is the ability for developers to create a weblink in UMD Video and games. This link/button will open the PSP browser and displays a web page of the programmers choice. Some examples: You select a button in a game which takes you to a page where you can download extra game content like levels. Or you click a link in a menu of a movie which opens a page where some trailers can be downloaded. 100th post!!!
