New PSP Firmware Adds DVR Functionality

Well once again we have to report about something cool that most of you won't be able to get. The Japanese once again get all the love when it comes to the PSP. This time it comes in the shape of a firmware update that will bring basic DVR functionality to the PSP. Of course you first need to use the wireless digital tuner accessory(1seg). This new firmware will allow you to turn your PSP into fairly decent DVR. Of course since the PSP doesn't sport the most high end internals you won't be able to do anything else with the device while it is in this mode, but come on, what else do you want. The nice thing is you can set this down and put it into sleep mode and it can record shows while it is idle.

With all the new updates that the PSP is getting these days it is really looking like a more attractive device to us. It started out as just a basic portable game player that could play back movies, but over the years it has morphed into a fully functional personal media player. If this latest update ever makes it to the states it could send us over the edge and make us have to buy one. We'll see.
