PSP Firmware 3.50 Released

As Sony promised, they have released version 3.50 of the PSP system software. With this update the PSP can now connect to the internet and the PlayStation Network using Remote Play on the PS3. Sony has also added an RSS channel guide to the PSP's internet features. The update should be available over network update at this point but be aware that upgrading will spoil your chances of running homebrew any time in the near future. Consider yourself warned.

Get iTunes Music on PSP Now

With the release of iTunes Plus, PSP owners will be able to download DRM-free music onto PSP. First details.

With the release of iTunes Plus, PSP owners will be able to download and purchase DRM-free music for their PSP's. Many PSP owners may recall that DRM music files will not work on the PSP but with this latest iTunes they can now take music on the go with them without owning an Ipod or other MP3 devices.

When in iTunes you will notice some songs with a plus icon next to them and that is symbolizing that this song is an iTunes Plus song and it will work on the PSP. Once you have purchased the song it will be transported into your iTunes folder and will be kept there for safe keeping.

After you complete those steps you will simply have to plug your PSP into your computer and transport the file onto the PSP Music folder. Then you are all set and ready to jam to your new tunes. Enjoy!!
