PS Meeting 2005

- PS Meeting 2005 is an event that happened in Japan today with the latest news from Sony regarding the PSP being announced. The best coverage comes from Max Console, but I'll summarize below.
- Firmware v2.0 to be released, with the biggest reason to upgrade being the included Web Browser. It seems Macromedia Flash support is ruled out. There will also be the ability to share picture files. WPA (a type of WiFi encryption) compatibility is included too. This upgrade is set to be available on July 27th (that is next Wednesday folks,) in Japan. No word on other territories, (i.e. will the UK version ship with 2.0 installed?) Google translation of the firmware changelog.
- "Ceramic White" is the name of the new white PSP. Even the carry case that comes with the system will be white. Out in Japan on September 15th, along with Winning Eleven 9 the same day. That is two weeks after the European launch. Other colours were, unsurprisingly, hinted at too.
- A new service in Japan called Portable TV is bring launched on July 27th too, which apparently allows wireless video transmission to the PSP. I wouldn't expect this to appear elsewhere around the world, (any time soon, at the very least.)
- Lots of lovely pictures here, including a nice white UMD soft case.
- PlayStation 3 updates can be found here.
