New firmware readies PSP for VidZone content

The firmware is roughly 27MB, which is a file size close to the VidZone update on PS3 (23MB). For those unfamiliar with VidZone, it's a service that gives PSP and PS3 users free access to music videos via PSN. It's currently only available in specific European countries, so don't go rushing out to download all at once.

I kept trying to use vidzone with my PSP through remote play but it just kept freezing on me.. you know.. doing the same thing that happens when you start up a game that isn't supported through remote play..

Vidzone seems like a pretty cool service. Wish that North America was getting some love.

Sorry, but the PSP updates are always around that size; you download the entire firmware with each update, not just the new files. It means nothing.

I don't think PSP firmware size has anything to do with it since it has to contain the update add-ons for all past updates.

the psp update was also mentioned on the US PSblog. i don't think it would be solely for vidzone support if it was mentioned on the US PSblog, especially since we're not getting it.

"Specific" European countries? My Austrian PSN account fails me yet again! *kicks to the curb*
Not that I could use it in Canada anyway. :P

Wow Joystiq, that’s a whole lot of speculation. Got anything better to back it up than say, file size? Because that sounds kinda rediculous.
