Dear Sony: I want FW v3.04 to have…
Christmas‘ gift-wrap-ripping time may be over, but who says the giving’s done? IGN recently posted a letter to Sony on what they’d like put in the PSP’s firmware version 3.03, and they (accidentally) invited their readers to do the same.
That is, come up with what they think should be put in v3.03 to make the most out of their portable system. The results was – to be blunt – controlled chaos. IGN’s staff picked out the best ideas in the pile, and slapped it all into one “Dear Sony” letters list.
To give you an idea of how diverse the reactions (and readers) were to the challenges, here as samples of the sent letters:
1. Open media support – for Divx, Xvid, subtitles in SRT format (and Hebrew font)
2. More encoding for the web browser – mainly Hebrew.
3. Live Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.

I would like to see a “Self-Destruct” Button in the next patch. Do you realize how many people would press it out of curiosity?

I know this is off the subject on the updates but sony needs to put some sort of symbol on the cover of games to signify if they are online compatable. I mean Xbox has the xbox live stripe ps2 has the white box and even Nintendo DS has their blue nintendo wi-fi thing. I know that they have INFRASTUCTURE on the back but you can call me lazy I think that it would be a little easier because 99.9% of the time you only see the front cover when you are surfing the web.

For most of the PSP guys there, take this opportunity to voice out what you’d like to see in v3.03. Be it something cool, practical, or downright strange, go wild. Hey, we were all pretty disappointed with fw 3.0 – might as well let it out.
Now, for the new PSP owners post-Xmas sales, this might be a good opportunity for you guys to familiarize yourselves with the PSP’s capabilities. And lastly, here’s one for the homebrew devs and programmers – we suggest you read the letters, and see what sort fun the other PSP fans would love to have. Enjoy the read.
