Sony updates PSP to firmware 3.73, identical to 3.72

by James Ransom-Wiley on Nov 29th 2007 7:29PM

Experience the same old experience by launching PSP's Network Update today!

To call the latest PSP mutation an update is certainly an overstatement. Firmware 3.73 is so completely similar to 3.72 that Sony couldn't muster a single new feature worth listing in its description of the upgrade. Even the hacks haven't turned up anything more than a few 'byte differences' in the lflash_fatfmt file (don't ask, we don't know). At least it still plays games.

Update: Sony tells us the "operation of the UMD drive has been improved to address cases in which the UMD drive occasionally suspends and fails to reload data."

Wow sure sounds like I good reason to go from my cfw to 3.73.

I heard that the update also changed something in the code so that for future updates, you only need to download and install files that have been changed, so that in theory, they should be much smaller.

By the way, thats the roman numeral for 1. Didn't want anyone to think I made a typo there.

tipe propurley: ur in Amerikaas now.

"didn't want anyone to think 1 made a type there"? What's that supposed to mean?

lol

for a second there i thought we were looking at another one of those stupid Resistance: fall of man advertisements.

lol you are so creative selecting the image!

Not to sound like a lawyer, but you might want to give Diane Arbus a credit for the photo.

im scared

redrum

Those twins are as freaky as a European PS3 ad.

You've never seen that photograph? It's incredibly famous. I believe those twins still live in somewhere in New Jersey.

Nope, never seen it before: what's the photograph famous for?

It's by Diane Arbus. She was known for shooting rolls of rather strange stuff, this being one of the photographs. Her work is pretty incredible. It's basically just one of her more famous photographs and she is a really famous photographer. I guess thats why it's well known.

Thank you very much for teaching me something new. =)

I bought a wii yesterday with supermario galaxy and super paper mario because I had money. I also bought a ds along with it to try out something new and I bought pokemon pearl and zelda. Turns out I will admit that I was a complete asshole for bashing the wii for no particular reason and it turns out I am actually enjoying myself. I never thought nintedo would blow me away with their gimmicks but i was proven wrong and I am here to apologize for bashing the wii and xbox360. I'm really sorry. I never expected that nintendo would actually have fun and innovative games.

Are you serious or is sarcasm?

XD this thread is too funny. Nothing related to the PSP fw.

ps3 rocks! are you f*ing serious!!!

lol

Wait a fucking second... the single greatest newest muthafuckin troll on Joystiq admits defeat by admitting he's WRONG? A rabid PS3 ogre acknowledging the Wii, its absolute antithesis?

... stop imploding my fanboyish world's balance. T_T

I see that account of yours has only one post, which means it's new, but for some reason has the same name. Then again, it means the banhammer was dropped in your head, and you came to apologize to the people here. Tough luck, after doing a riot like that it's going to take more than that for the people here to forgive you. Good luck seeking their forgiveness though.

And no, this doesn't mean I forgive you.

To cleanse your past history I suggest clicking your name, log in with password, and change name.

creepy jersey devil twins

Know what would be super? A PS3 firmware update that would make it just fucking work to see my media over my network!

Fucking think sees my PCs, but no media. The 360 media center function is great, I would love to get that working on the PS3.

I'll stick with 3.71 M33-3 for now, thanks.

I guess that's why they're calling it 3.73 instead of 3.8.

So long as Joystiq is going to use Arbus photos I think someone should consider "Jewish Giant" in any upcoming article, related or not.

I see this kinda as a good thing. They're fixing issues that are so minute, nobody really notices. I wish other companies would spend more time polishing the features they already have so they work flawlessly.

Going to google Diane Arbus...love the twins. Besides creating and drawing wii is Tops 100 favOright activity. Wii saturday is a ritual now in our house... it's only going to get better. 89 year old great grandma bought one and plays with her 10 year old great granddaughter. That's a killer of an audience range. No one can understand it until they play because seeing isn't enough. People look silly with their Wiis jerkin around in their hands (in the ads)! Ya just have to experience for yourself. http://www.spymac.com/details/?2313189

This is very interesting...........

that photo is hella-creepy, like the twin girls in The Shining

Turns out I will admit that I was a complete asshole for bashing the wii for no particular reason and it turns out I am actually enjoying myself. I never thought nintedo would blow me away with their gimmicks but i was proven wrong and I am here to apologize for bashing the wii and xbox360. I'm really sorry.
