    I had a go at the radio station player thingy with the last update and it was pretty pants, all i managed to use was one station, the search facility just didnt work so lets see if this one is any improvement, i had kinda thought it would work like your PC's radio player but it dont Doh, so i will fully charge the old PSP wack on this update and see if its any more useable

    the internet radio is cool but doesn't have the more popular hip hop songs or Reggaeton songs. Still waiting for the DiVx video playback Come on SONY you can do it

    @ digzz, Sony wont open up Xvid or Divx for the PSP. They have UMD's to sell. If they were to put Xvid or Avi on PSP everyone would just torrent movies and toss them on there.

    The radio stations the previous ones before the update were ok. I enjoyed the 90s and 80s channel alot also the classical one. I can't wait to try out the latest radio stations.

    As much as I want to get one, I just can't do it until they make one with a hard drive.  It just doesn't make sense that the PS3 has one, but the PSP doesn't.  Plus, the potential to be the 'best' is there, if you can beat out IPod and Zune.  I just don't understand it.

    @ Lp47PS3  Well. PSU  did say in a article a few months back that xvid and divx was coming to the psp. That’s like saying because the ps3 has it now no one will buy blu ray now. which is total crap.

    i dont belive there will be divx/xvid support as well, but hey, you can use the free psp media manager to convert it to AVC or whatever it is called, it is quite handy to, as you get smaller files, and nice quality, at least for the psp monitor!
