PS3 Firmware 2.10 & PSP 3.80 Released

Sony has been keeping a great track record with regular firmware releases and yesterday was no different. They released fresh firmware upgrades for both the PSP and PS3, 3.80 and 2.10, respectively.

On the PSP side, an online radio station feature has been unveiled. This… is one of the coolest features to hit the PSP in quite a while. I haven’t given the new firmware a go yet, but apparently there are thousands of stations to choose from. As long as you have a WiFi connection handy, you can log on and listen to whatever you like.

Though the PSP firmware is hard to beat, the PS3s isn’t so bad. The 2.10 update updates the Blu-ray profile to 1.1 and also adds DivX and VC-1 support. A feature to allow users to mask their voice while online is also introduced. How unique.

From the PSP’s launch, we’ve been discussing its multi-functional strengths, and with the addition of Internet Radio in firmware update 3.80, PSP owners will be able to access thousands of stations in a wide range of diverse genres. Interested in Top 40 Pop? Check. Country? Check. Talk radio? Check. Ultimately, this addition speaks to how much we listen to our consumers. Music has been one of the primary uses of the PSP system, and with the addition of Internet Radio, consumers are able to access even more of their favorite artists. Enjoy.
