Sony Rolls Out PS3 v2.36 And v4.00 PSP Firmware Updates

by Rainier on June 18, 2008 @ 2:08 a.m. PDT

As promised, Sony has released the latest v2.36 PS3 firmware update, improving system stability when playing certain PlayStation titles. At the same time Sony also made available a new firmware update for the PSP, bringing it to v4.00 and adding Google Internet search directly to the XMB interface, and the ability to change viewing speed during playback of videos stored on your Memory Stick PRO Duo.

This new upgrade replicates the Google Internet search experience, delivering the same search results that you’d get at www.google.com. And with a search history recall of 20 items, Web searches couldn’t be easier.

After you download and install the firmware on your PSP, click on the XMB’s Network icon and then the new Internet Search icon. Enter your keywords and then let Google’s algorithms do the work. You’ll need to be connected to the Internet via a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot. Googling something on the go has never been more convenient on your PSP.

Another new feature delivered through the 4.00 update is the ability to change viewing speed during playback of videos stored on your Memory Stick PRO Duo, so you can speed through or slow down what you’re watching. To do this simply press the up or down directional buttons while playing a video.
