We know it's been a rough eleven days, but it looks like your wait is almost over — Sony just put up a placeholder
site detailing all of the new features of the North American version of the
PSP's new 2.0 firmware
upgrade. Nothing all that different from the Japanese version (surprise, surprise), but at least now you won't
technically be voiding your warranty. The download itself isn't available yet (we just tested and it's still v1.52), at
least not as of this writing, but we're guessing that it won't be long now.
[Thanks, SGOlsen]
Update: Ok, so apparently a bunch of people found a login (scea/scea—how original) to the PSP update site, which in return said something to the effect of the update being made available August 24th (i.e. tomorrow). Um, and now the PSP update site appears to have been taken down, removed, or is otherwise missing. Aiight, square one. And thanks to everyone who sent this in.
