[UPDATE] PSP firmware v4.05 coming soon

Posted on July 14th, 2008 at 09:21 EDT

Sony's official PlayStation.Blog has revealed that PSP firmware version 4.05 will be released shortly. Eric Lempel, director of PSN Operations, suggested that the update focused on the device's music-playing capabilities:

"We know that more and more of you are listening to music on your PSP, and this update will add new visualizers for music playback, among other features."

Lempel stopped short of announcing those other features, but we should be able to find out for ourselves once the update is released. We expect that'll be before Sony's E3 press conference tomorrow, perhaps giving the company something to discuss during its keynote speech. Don't forget, PSU will be providing up-to-the-minute coverage of everything PlayStation (and more) from E3 this week.

UPDATE:

As the comments below show, the firmware update is available for download!

Wow, another almost useless update. Fun.

Although a few more visuals would be nice, as long as they keep in time with the music.

And, first comment, yey!

Yeah, the Sony website ALWAYS updates the version number on their own page really late. It's pretty dumb.

They need to fix Remote Play.  That is exactly what I got it for, and my router doesn't work with the Remote Play feature, due to some "exception" found when you try to turn on the "Via Internet" option.

I shouldn't have to buy a new router, just to access my PS3.

Yes, I also vote for Remote play to be fixed.  Not once have I been able to access it when I choose 'Over Internet'.  Now if I'm in my house and I choose "Private Network" it works.

I don't really use my psp for music anymore. I deleted all the songs I have on my memory stick and now use my ipod for music.

Well the psp speakers are significantly smaller than your car speakers, that is why the cd's sound louder. If you put on headphones it sounds alot better. Or if you want, get an adaptor to where u can play your psp off ur car audio, thats what I have and it sounds great.
