PSP Firmware 6.00 goes live, hints at game rentals

by Andrew Yoon

PSP Firmware 6.00 is now available for those adventurous enough to click on Network Update from the XMB. The changelog, copied in full below, may look rather uninspiring at first:

Games can now be grouped and displayed in folders based on their expire date under [Game].
Under [Settings], [Network Update] has been changed to [System Update]. Under [System Update], you can now choose how to update the system software.
The number of colors that can be selected under [Settings] > [Theme Settings] has been increased.
Revisions to strengthen security have been added. (Internet Browser)

While additional XMB colors will excite few, the mention of "expire dates" for games sounds rather surprising. PSP currently supports time-based licenses for video rentals. However, applying the same rules to games hasn't been done before. Earlier in the year, we discovered plans for a potential games rental service for PSP. Is firmware 6.00 preparing the hardware for a new expansion to the PlayStation Store?

They should be more concerned with fixing 3.0

Well... not really, see PSP's firmware needed to be fixed way before PS3's 3.0..

You still can not look at Youtube videos with your PSP, and the flash player is yet to be updated..

I thought with the PSP-Go coming out that the updates to fix PSP's problems would have been rolling out, but thats just not the case..

Also looking for a remote-play connection update..
