PSP firmware 4.05 is now available for download. The update will include new music playback visualizations and the ever-conclusive "other features" according to the PlayStation.Blog. According to PSP Fanboy, "Firmware 4.05 includes two new visualizers, one if you have a wallpaper and one if you don't. If you don't have a wallpaper, the waves you see in the background are reduced to one. If you do a have a wallpaper, a water rippling effect can be seen on top of your image. Overall, very underwhelming."

Unfortunately, they didn't discover what the "other features" could possibly be.

STOP USING DOLLAR SIGNS AS A FUCKING "S"

Myke: Jul 14th 2008; 4:13PM

Agreed!

I don't know what Sony has up their sleeve but it better be something amazing...

I'm still shocked about FF XIII!!!

What in-the-blue hell just happened?????????????????

I am usually against any "clever" twists on a company name, but I think today of all days it's appropriate.

I killed you, playboy, because all you gave me was $25,000.

This is like firing a Nerf gun at a killer-asteroid.

Sony officially wins E3

Trapper02: Jul 14th 2008; 4:13PM

oooooo thanks Sony! your awesome! You know they say its always darkest before the dawn... Sony its pretty damn dark outside, will you be curing cancer tomorrow?

Mr Khan: Jul 14th 2008; 4:30PM

I wouldn't be surprised if they struck back with something just as astounding

The universe is, officially, falling apart now. Anything is possible

&rew: Jul 14th 2008; 4:21PM

I just downloaded it and I have to say, is Sony sucking on purpose or do they honestly think people care about this crap, if only there was an emodicon for anger, there probably is, I just won't use it.

rv: Jul 14th 2008; 4:24PM

Ill upgrade when the new m33 version is out. I usedto think my ps was useless, until I used the custom firmware. Homebrew and emulators ftw!

Churchy: Jul 14th 2008; 4:54PM

I certainly hope they have more visualizers that let me watch nasty hair grow on some patch of skin in an undetermined place (my guess is the back).

Jacksons: Jul 14th 2008; 5:41PM

Lmao, I never looked at it that way.

kyle1616: Jul 14th 2008; 5:10PM

breaking news: the massive technology conglomerate microsoft has announced that the latest addition in the hit series final fantasy will be coming to their console the xbox 360. not to be outdone, the almost-quite-as-massive media conglomerate sony fired back with a new moving wallpaper. cute!

(i heard the word conglomerate on chuck and now i cant stop sayin it)

c_judicator: Jul 14th 2008; 5:39PM

Not much to expect from an update with a ".05" following it. This is about what I expected.

Jacksons: Jul 14th 2008; 5:39PM

This was yesterday, sorry to disappoint all the funny E3 related comments. That said, I wish they'd just hold back until they had an update worth releasing. It's like receiving a Ferrari 1 piece at a time when they release these tiny updates.

I think people use the dollar sign because they don't want other people to confuse MicroSoft with Multiple Sclerosis or MS.
