In what could be the least impressive PSP firmware update ever, version 4.01 has arrived to ... well, to make version 4.00 not broked, in short, improving the Internet Search and Video features. We were so enjoying that clean .00 ending and we barely get to savor it before that stupid 1 has to come along and spoil the whole party.
If this update were adding any new features, this would be the part of the post where we would explain them, or make some disparaging comment about their usefulness. Instead, it's the part where we come to an awkward, joyless close.

Why upgrade to an official firmware when DA custom firmware is around the corner ;)

Because some people don't use their PSP's for illegal purposes. I am not one of those people.

Me neither.
Only CW_cheats for Tag force 2 because getting DP is a pain.
I just wanted another Monarch for my deck and I had to duel 30 times before getting it.

Why? Its simple really, I dont steal. Nothing in life is free ... and if you are getting it for free now, the cost is going to hit you later.

I buy all my PSP games, I do use CF for roms though whenever there aren't any good PSP games to play.

I TAKE OFFENSE TO THE ALLEGATIONS OF PIRACY! I use custom firmware to run roms and games I own. I know it's hard to believe when I have nearly 50 PSP games (boguht Jeanne D'Arc and Gurumin over lunch for $10 each, THANKS CAG!) but sometimes having Final Fantasy VII on a handheld is awesome. Not to mention Bust A Groove or Battle Arena Toshinden 2...

For example I just want CW_Cheats for Tag force games because getting hearts with all characters takes forever and if you want to advance each character “Pseudo-Plot” you are going to be there forever.

I also buy PSP games and run a custom firmware. I have used it to run old PS1 games of mine that I have converted. FF7 on a PSP is the best!

Though I'm certain it won't happen anytime soon... it'd be nice to have my PSP share some of the nifty features the PS3's looking to get.
You know... like the ones aforementioned in today's article about in-game XMB. Might as well put those music tracks, headset & Skype™, or even a friends' list to use, hm?

Home ¬_¬ A shop ¬_¬ Internet with music ¬_¬ In game XBM ¬_¬ PSP Messenger (Fixed, not external downloads, I want to add people to my messenger with PSPs the way I can with MSN.
I'm not saying all these are possible, but they are worth considering and much more worth looking forward to then slowing down videos or google search .

Full resolution for memory stick videos? Or have they done that now?
The ability for games to install content to the MS for faster loading? Or has that been done?
It's been so long since I installed an official firmware.

PSP browser update 0.2, now with Iphone ease of use.
The option to send files using bluetooth, mobiles do it, whats the issue? At least save game files.
The option to organise files (rename, reorder, create, delete) without having to connect to the computer.
