currently, you can open the browser and go to the bookmarks and there's a PSP bookmark. that lets people download videos and demos. i guess sony doesn't consider this the playstation store. i guess specifically it means charging for content.
Chris Eden from SCE made mention of PLAYSTATION Store on PSP in his Game Developers Conference session. Currently, players must use a PC in order to download content and transfer it to the PSP. Going forward, PSP fans will be able to download games directly to their systems from within the PSP itself. "Access native PLAYSTATION Store on PSP via wireless hotspot," the slide notes. "Purchase and download content direct to PSP" Launch is currently "TBA." More details are promised for the future.
The file pspbtcnf_02g.bin 'could' be interepreted as 'psp battery config ...' (though others have suggested other possible meanings).
So...a unknown firmware file in December and now a new submission in Feb...somethings afoot.
I too truly hope it is a hack stop...I understand the 'homebrew' scene but the amount of piracy it leads too (check out the torrents for riped umd) is awful.
@kspraydad, Of course I do! I wouldn't ignore one of my favorite SE members! Oh wow, I'm surprised to read about your battery anaylsis. If that is true, I am actually glad! I hope Sony does away with people using custom firmware and roms!
Based on a comment at PSP Fanboy to the article I went over the docs a little more and they seem to be testing 3 different battery setups. This is then being seen as perhaps SONY trying to alter the hardware to stop the Pandora's Battery Custom Firmware exploit.
"What changes will be made to the PSP are unclear at the moment, but we'd postulate that these are simple cost-reducing measures, and is not indicative of a new PSP series. Why? Sony would most likely file a new model number altogether in that regard.
We doubt Sony will give specifics regarding this situation, but stay tuned for any new developments."
