PSP Gets Even Better

I’ve never been a particularly big fan of the PSP, and I don’t own one myself.  Still, partly through its own merits and partly through the efforts of some highly motivated and skilled hackers, the PSP is definitely a cool little toy.  It’s got an admittedly extremely good screen, great graphics, a number of very good games, and an incredible homebrew scene.  Now, it’s been reported that the latest firmware update, v. 3.30, comes with 6 months of free wifi access through T-mobile hotspots.  That is pretty awesome, and definitely a great step toward making up for many of the less-than-friendly things Sony PR has said over the past few years.

Additionally, Gizmodo reports that Sony is developing a system for fans of Arsenal, the British soccer team, to view the game on their PSPs while they are at the stadium.  This is pretty cool news - definitely, sometimes a screen will give you a better overview of things than actual seats, depending on where you are sitting.  If this expands, it could definitely be a really great feature of the PSP.
