Dark_AleX has released his latest project: Despertar Cementerio, a universal unbricker for both the PSP-1000 and PSP-2000. The application returns your PSP back to firmware 3.71. To use the application, you will need Official Firmwares 1.50, 3.40 and 3.71. Dark_AleX also mentions that only firmware dumps from your own PSP should be used to unbrick, or it could lead to idstorage corruption.
Installation instructions are included in the zip package.
Sony have released an official theme maker for the PSP in Japan. So, if you are bored with the pre-made themes from Sony, why not create your own. The details about the application are still sketchy (since it?s in Japanese) but hopefully a similar application will make it to the US and Europe.
Some of the features include custom icon editor, theme converter among others. If you understand Japanese, why not download a copy from the Official Japanese PlayStation Website.

During the Sony keynote speech at Tokyo Game Show 2007, it was revealed that PlayStation Home will not be released this year as previously reported. Home is now planned to be released early next Spring. Sony didn’t elaborate on whether or not the Spring release will be for all regions or if it only concerns Japan. Sony originally planned to release a Home beta later this fall but didn’t go into details on whether or not the open beta will be delayed as well.
It is speculated that the open beta is not cancelled and PlayStation Home will be released directly for download in Spring 2008, if all goes to plan. The exclusive beta will most likely continue to run until the public launch.
The PlayStation Network Store has been update as usual this week. The US PlayStation store has recieved four new playable demos as well as a new game. The European PSN Store, on the otherhand, has recieved two PS1 titles and a LocoRoco Cocoreccho! – PS3 ‘interactive screensaver’ and game. Check out the list below.

In a short demonstration at the Tokyo Games Show 2007, Sony showed a Windows laptop sporting a PlayStation Store interface created for PC users. Of course, Hirai couldn’t help but boast virtual shelf numbers during the process: 30 PlayStation 3 games, 300 add-on items, 100 game titles on archive, and a slew of game demos all underline what’s served at the portal currently. Details about how the store can be accessed is still unclear.
Hirai failed to mention if the store can be accessed via a standard web browser or via a special application. This news is expecially exciting for those who can only access the Internet via their PCs.
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that it would release DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller, a new controller for PLAYSTATION 3 incorporating a rumble feature, in Japan in November as a separately sold accessory. It inherits the basic design and functionality of the popular PlayStation controller, while keeping the high-precision, high response motion sensitive six-axis sensing system. Introduction to North American and European markets is expected in spring 2008.
There have been manu rumors suggesting this functionality, but now Sony has finally confirmed the news. According to the Sony press release, rumble functionality can be added to existing games through a software update. The DualShock 3 controller will include SIXAXIS motion sensing functionality.
