Video: PSP surfs over to PlayStation Store via firmware 5.0

Good news, PSP fans -- the PlayStation Store is closer than ever to hitting your handheld, and we've got the video to prove it. Sony has hosted up a clip to give us all a better idea of what firmware 5.0 has in store for the PSP, and while there aren't any real surprises, it's always good to get a sneak peek. We're told that users will soon be able to create an account and access the PlayStation Network right on the PlayStation Portable, and the PS Store access is the same as on the PS3. Enough chatter -- give the video a look in the read link.

Oh boy, here we go again. Let the fanboy flaming floodgates open.

I'm glad to see other companies try the whole "experience" videos.

But sadly, they are never as perfect, or as mildly creepy, as Apple's. I swear those Apple employees are robots. OR Steve has their families locked up if they make any mistakes on video. just. creepy.

This is great news. I've been waiting for this feature. The PS3 is getting a revised flash player as well, which means we'll be able to pull hulu.com through the PSP!

whered you read that?

[Nomi @ Oct 14th 2008 5:07PM]

Never mind...I shouldve read the whole article.

[Jake @ Oct 15th 2008 2:30PM]

Only if you have a psp.

[whowhatme @ Oct 14th 2008 4:27PM]

this is awesome. compare to the new Nintendo store, which doesn't even allow wii and ds points to be interchanged. Sony did a much better job with this.

[cduran01 @ Oct 14th 2008 4:42PM]

I could be wrong, but doesn't the Nintendo store only work on the new DS? If this is true then this is a million times better since it works with all versions of the PSP.

[Ozzman_79 @ Oct 14th 2008 4:29PM]

Nintendo has a store?

[soulsaber @ Oct 14th 2008 4:37PM]

Wii Shop Channel!

[cduran01 @ Oct 14th 2008 4:41PM]

Yes they have a store, but not on the old DS's.

[Ozzman_79 @ Oct 14th 2008 5:05PM]

Ah yes. I guess that could be considered their "store". Never heard it called that before. Thanks

[MastrCake @ Oct 14th 2008 5:11PM]

Perfect timing. This will go great with my PSP 3000 (which I am heading out to buy as we sepak to replace my stolen 1000).

[Ron @ Oct 14th 2008 5:23PM]

This is good that it's finally shown up. I'm also very happy about the PS3 getting revised as far as flash is concerned. Maybe now web browsing on my PS3 will become much more enjoyable.

I need to go dig up my PSP & see about updating it :)
I don't think I've even used it this year.

[Gary @ Oct 14th 2008 6:03PM]

I'm only getting it if M33 fix it!!

[nathan.wong @ Oct 14th 2008 7:13PM]

I'm confused about Sony's direction. I own all the systems available and it appears that Sony is the only one focusing on features instead of actual games.

[Justin @ Oct 14th 2008 10:09PM]

Thank God! I've been waiting for a feature like this. Awesome!

[JustinPow @ Oct 15th 2008 3:25AM]

Hmm isnt that odd that the PSP is outputting fullscreen?
