New PSP Firmware Adds Qriocity Music Sharing Support

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Sony hasreleased a new PSP firmware update, version 6.35 for those of you scoring at home. If that home happens to be in North America or Europe, this update will add a Qriocity logo to your XMB.

Sony hasn't yet revealed whenthe company's new"Music Unlimited"service will go live, but now that the software is already in place on the PSP, that launch looks like it's coming sooner rather than later.

For Japanese PSP owners, Qriocity is not an option so they get an XMB shortcut for a map/guidebook service calledx-Radar Portable. A radar-like display points out nearby businesses, train stations, and the like. Digital guidebooks covering specific information (restaurants, zoos, even maid cafes) are available for purchase via the PlayStation Store. There's also a free scavenger hunt game called Monster Radar.

The x-Radar Portable service was originally released months ago as a separate application on the web, but now PSP users can download the free software directly from the XMB.
