PlayStation Portable 3.0 firmware now available

PSP News | Display PlayStation 3 content on the PSP.
The long awaited firmware update for the PlayStation Portable mustn't be far away now, as Sony has released the online manual for the firmware and it reveals a few interesting tidbits.

According to the manual you'll be able to play content that is displayed on the PlayStation 3. Whether that actually means you'll be able to play PlayStation 3 titles on the PSP in some reduced form is anybody’s guess, but you're not able to play Blu-Ray discs or DVDs, as the material is copyrighted. Other things you may send from the PlayStation 3 could include music, video or photos. You'll also be able to set your PSP to automatically connect to the internet at a certain time to download new content automatically.

Finally, Sony has also enabled the ability to choose whether a UMD starts immediately once you insert the UMD, which is a handy feature. All in all it sounds like the 3.0 firmware update will be quite feature-packed.

Update: The PSP 3.0 firmware is now downloadable automatically, it is not yet available on the official site but can be downloaded via the PSP.
