PSP Firmware 4.00 available soon

N.Shah | June 16, 2008 | News | Playstation Portable 
Eric Lempel, director of PSN Operations, has officially announced that PSP Firmware 4.00 will be available to download soon. No fixed release date has been given but two features have been announced: Google Search from the XMB and adjustable playback speeds when watching videos.
The main change to the PSP system software is the inclusion of Google Internet Search directly from the XMB. This new feature add a new icon to the XMB and replicates the Google Internet search experience, delivering the same search results that you’d get at www.google.com. Another new feature includes the ability to change the video playback speed.

    Well I guess they've already updated pretty much everything else they could think of.

    Now all they have to do is update it with another joystick-thing and it'll be all good. They'll find a way...

    I'm actually saddened by this update I would love more and better remote play features. The internet on the PS3 is hardly ever used by me, due to the tedious way of inputting text. But even those who use it a lot for the internet, if they liked having google search easily accessible, they almost always put it as their homepage, right?

    What about in-game soundtracks? Maybe not available for EVERY game, but what about any game that the PSP has some processor speed and memory left over to run it on?

    That would be nice.

    Custom firmware already does this, right?
