Sony‘s giving out a big firmware double-whammy to celebrate the PS3’s third birthday. With Firmware 3.10 coming out for the PS3 today, Sony’s following it up with the release of FW 6.20 for the PSP tomorrow, November 19th, in Japan.
The highlight of this firmware update would be the addition of the PSP comics service that they announced back at TGS, as well as the addition of another column to the XMB. This applies to all PSP models, from the 1000 to the new PSP Go.
Downloadable comics will be available in Japan on December 10th. Price would be falling around ¥ 420 (about US$ 4.70)for a complete comic book, and between ¥ 50-¥ 150 (about US$ .50-1.70) if you just want a chapter. Enterbrain, Bandai Visual, Kadokawa Shoten, and Square Enix will count themselves among content providers.
No word, however, on when the update will go stateside.
Thanks to Tyler Jobe for the heads up!
