The latest official PlayStation Portable firmware from Sony has finally made it out of the paddock and into the wild. That's right folks, you can now download and update your PSP to firmware 5.50. Here's a quick look at what it brings:

• XMB Information Board similar to the PS3's
• Unregistered browsing on the PlayStation Store
• Create and access sub-folders for music, videos and photos
• Internet search for games directly from the XMB
• Free trial for two Trend Micro Internet security services

The firmware update can be downloaded by using the Network Update feature on your PSP or by clicking here. Get it while it's hot. Or not. If you wanna stick to homebrew, you might want to put off updating until we hear more about Davee's upcoming HEN.
