"CAUTION: This update is only for customers who obtained PSP®
(PlayStation®Portable) for Japan (PSP-1000 series). Upon completion of
preparing, we will announce update information for the other countries/areas
customers via SCE Group Web Site or other channels . For these customers who

You won't void your warranty, but it's not cool to do so in Sony's opinion. ;-)
Thanks for the email heads-up, Kynadr!
