It's confirmed, Sony has spilled the beans that on Thursday, July 27th, 2006, we will see a new firmware released for the PSP, featuring RSS video support in the PSP's browser, a new downloadable game demo (World Tour Soccer 2), as well as a few other new features. Awesome news, but you would seriously consider the disadvantages before upgrading, since homebrew
will be plugged up, as it is in 2.7X firmwares.
Now then, any guesses at what number firmware it will be? 3.0? 2.72? I call firmware 2.8.
