Quote:So did you think Sony just wanted to release a new PSP with a different name? Hell no. Famitsu.com and Impress Watch donned their sleuthing gloves and found some hidden features on the PSP-3000.

As it turns out, the goods are in the firmware. As Famitsu.com uncovered, there are now bonus options for your handheld, such as setting for "Color Space" under the system settings section of the XMB. For this particular feature, you can switch between Wide - which exploits the full colored depth of the revised hardware - and Normal - which gives you back the PSP-2000 level color.

A second firmware revamp is in the option for Automatic USB Connection. With this switched on, the PSP automatically goes to USB mode when a device is connected. And then, there's also a new noise reduction feature for video out, to cut out all that noise when outputting the PSP's video signal to television.

Those are some pretty interesting changes, don't you agree? But what's even more interesting is how the homebrew community will adapt and utilize these new firmware options for their projects. Stay tuned. Wee'll be watching out for more news to bring to you.

The above is intended as a JOKE, well no, not really, Sony does need to get plowed with raping furries
