According to a post over at the PlayStation Blog, a new firmware update for both the PlayStation 3 and PSP will be available within the next few days. Eric Lampel, Director of PSN Operations, has revealed that the PS3 update will fix the network error encountered by some users while the PSP update will add a few new requested features.
Lampel’s post reads:
"Taking into account customer feedback and some internal testing, we will be making available in the next few days a firmware update for the PS3 (1.93) that fixes the network disconnect issue that some of you have experienced as a result of downloading Firmware 1.92. In addition, we are adding a new firmware update for PSP (3.71) as well, which adds many features that readers of this blog have requested.
The main feature we’ve added with the recent updates for PSP is the ability to set themes on your PSP. Over time we will be providing themes on PlayStation.com, our official PSP site and through PLAYSTATION Store. You can download themes based on some of our popular titles."
Lampel has not revealed the changelog for the new PSP update, however we should expect more details in the next few days.
Good to find that they plan on fixing the bugs introduced in 3.70.
I wonder, since it seems like they looked into one of my requests last time maybe I will get lucky again and more useful features that people end up being forced to use homebrew for will be implemented.
Better then that, I wonder if Sony will let us make our own custom themes.
