Lik Sang have posted this:
Thanks to forum member diehard for pointing out to us that Datel is currently working on a very hot new product for the PSP. According to the latest rumors floating on the internet, the famous UK based company is about to release a 4GB HDD for the PSP by the end of this month. Lik Sang asked Datel and received official confirmation that the product is on the way, but release date and exact price point remain undisclosed.
The 4GB HDD will be bundled with the X2 Battery into a neat 2-in-1 add-on that you would plug in the battery slot at the back of the PSP. Technically speaking, just plugging the battery module into the battery slot will probably not be enough, normally there has to be a flat cable or another connection to the PSP's Memory Stick slot. The only picture available unfortunately also doesn't reveal if the hard drive is actually part of the battery, or, as we first thought, if the 4GB hard drive could be replaced with a larger one.
We will keep you informed as soon as we receive more details and a final release date from Datel. Preorders are taken right now for US$ 249.99 and you will be asked for re-confirmation when the final SRP is made available to us. The current price is only the best bet available at our bookmaker right now, it could go up or hopefully down.

Evangelion writes <i>"PSP hackers beware! According to <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3144414">1up.com</a> today, Symantec has identified <a href="http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.pspbrick.html">the first PSP Trojan</a> in the wild. Known as Trojan.PSPBrick, it turns the PSP into, well, a brick. With buttons. Users have to download and install it themselves, and as a result it effectively breaks the PSP."</i>
Yes we already reported this but could this be the start of the worrying new trend, remember kids stick to reputable sites like this one for releases that wont damage your PSP.

This was around the mainstream websites yesterday but i was waiting for a reputable PSP site with japanese connections/newsposters to post it and divulge more accurate information and luckily the rather excellent PSP Vault came to the rescue:
Thanko has announced the "PSP Wireless Headset," a set of wireless headphones you can use with your PSP. They're pretty cheap at 1,480 yen (~$13 USD), but there is also a pretty big downside: they don't support stereo audio. This is quite a downer for those of us who thought this would be really awesome to use with PSPRadio. FM is used to transmit the audio to the headphones, so you don't need to worry about it interfering with your WiFi.

With barely a fortnight left before the Grand Theft Auto series makes its PSP debut in the form of GTA: Liberty City Stories, it's no surprise that the hype machine is cranking up to eleven.
Hot on the news heels of Rockstar's Liberty City Stories multiplayer announcement, the software king of controversy has tossed out a brand new trailer, showing more of Tony Cipriani's Liberty City exploits in full-on moving-panel box-o-rama - what's more, you can see it right at the bottom of this page.
See car chases! See angry, fist-shaking policemen! See motorbikes! See a SWAT team muscle in on the action! Then get trampled to death as every single GTA fan in the universe stampedes their local games emporium as if under some curious and inexplicable mind control on October 28.

Sony's CEO Howard Stringer has been singing the praises of PS3. Speaking recently at the CEATEC Japanese electronics show he's called the next-gen console "Our biggest breakthrough yet", enthused about the Cell processor - which "really sets the PS3 apart" - and boldly stated the processor offers "twice the processing power of Xbox 360". Hurrah for another bout of willy waving.
Anyway, according to reports, Stringer went on to heap yet more praise on the Cell microprocessor, saying that "It's simply amazing in a home entertainment device... The PS3 is only the beginning, but it is a monumental technical advance." Can you feel the love?
Moving away from the 'mine's bigger than yours' bravado, he revealed Sony's forthcoming initiative to allow PSP owners to use the handheld's wi-fi functionality to "watch video from home entertainment terminals, anytime, anywhere in the world," a feature which is apparently coming soon.
And there was something about recording TV programmes on digital video recorders and then watching them on PSP courtesy of higher capacity memory sticks, which sounds great. We think.

The latest twist in a four-year legal battle over the legality of mod chips in Australia has ruled the devices legal once more, with the country's highest court finding against Sony in an appeal case which could have wide-reaching consequences.
The High Court's decision found that the PlayStation chips whose functions are circumvented by mod chips to allow unauthorised (pirate or import) games to be played are not primarily copy protection devices, and thus not covered by copyright laws which prevent the circumvention of such devices.
The ruling overturns a previous judgement by Australia's Full Court, which found that the PlayStation's copy protection mechanisms provide a general deterrent to copyright infringement.
That argument wasn't good enough for the High Court, which noted that since no full copy of the game being played is made in the PlayStation's memory when an unauthorised game is inserted in the machine, there's no actual unauthorised copying taking place.
Of course, it's still illegal to duplicate PlayStation games - that's never been in question, and continues to fall under the same regulations about piracy and copyright protection which have always been in place. But the simple act of playing an "unauthorised" disc - which can, remember, also include an imported game - is not illegal.
Although Sony has been ruled against on what may seem like a technicality, there's a strong feeling that the company's region protection system helped to deliver the killing blow to its legal arguments, since not only does it show up a legitimate use of mod chips, but it also rankled with many Australian officials who saw it as an artificial trade barrier which was hurting competition and consumers.
The actual case at the heart of the whole affair is that of Eddy Stevens, who was taken to court by Sony four years ago for chipping PlayStation consoles.
"It's a victory for consumers, but also for business people," a lawyer for Stevens commented after the judgement. "It will likely increase competition in the market and possibly reduce the prices in the market for gaming."
What effect the ruling will have outside Australia remains to be seen, although the legal arguments used by Stevens' team will no doubt be examined closely by firms involved in mod chipping or import gaming all around the world.
Not all consoles sport the same region coding protection which is used in the PlayStation; all of Nintendo's handheld consoles, and now the PSP as well, are region free, while Microsoft made region-coding into an optional feature for Xbox publishers.

Raf has updated PSP Radio, heres whats new:
.35-pre1
-Refactored PSPSound/PSPSound_MP3. (lots of things are different. but one thing that is evident to the end user is that the buffers were reduced by a factor of 5. Next -pre release will allow for the buffers to be configurable).
-Added basic multiple samplerate support!
Supported rates:
8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000.
Any rate can be implemented, I just need to add it to the code, let me know if other rates are required.
Note that the samplerate conversion is really linear and simplistic, and hence the produced sound will not
be very good. Still, better than nothing.
-UI now displays buffer percentage (instead of in/out number)

Sony CEO Howard Stringer has revealed some of the company's future plans for the PSP and PS3, describing the next-gen console as "a monumental technical advance."
In a speech delivered at the CEATEC electronics show in Japan, Stringer said that PSP owners "Will soon be able to deploy the device's built-in Wi-Fi to watch video from home entertainment terminals, anytime, anywhere in the world."
He also confirmed that larger capacity memory sticks will enable users to record television programmes using digital video recorders and then watch them back on the PSP. Some DVR models already come equipped with memory stick slots.
Moving on to the PlayStation 3, Stringer described the console as "Our biggest breakthrough yet."
"The Cell microprocessor really sets the PS3 apart... Offering twice the processing power of Xbox 360. It's simply amazing in a home entertainment device."
"The PS3 is only the beginning, but it is a monumental technical advance."
Stringer conceded that Sony had "fallen short" when it came to performing strongly in the competitive electronics market - the company is expecting its first operating loss in more than a decade this financial year due to losses in its TV sector and costly restructuring expenses.
"We must free ourselves from the old ways that bind us," he said.
"We must restructure to improve efficiency, improve our focus and provide the necessary resources to create unique, competitive advantages."
Stringer added that his vision for Sony is "One that is streamlined in terms of product lines, manufacturing and efficiency... We will become a more nimble, responsive and creative company with a better relationship with the public."

Raf sent an email with ths news:
A new release of PSPRadio is out. Thanks!!
This release is the same as 0.34-pre3
I'm making 0.34-pre3 official, because:
1- it's stable enough
2-I'm making major internal changes right now, and I'd rather make 0.34-pre3 official than waiting until I have everything straightened out.
So, in short, if you're already using 0.34-pre3; then you're not missing anything. The only difference is that this release is packaged correctly...
Anyways, here's the changelog from 0.33b:
0.34
-Corrected the mutex and semaphore implementations..
(Now logging needs more resources because of this though, so it's probably a good idea to keep high).
-Also found a bug that would cause the crash on exit (one at least).
(PSPSound's destructor was accessing the m_ThDecode without checkin if it existed first.)
-Also added USB support. Needs to be enabled in the config file. ([USB]ENABLED=1; )
-USB support is dangerous. Not recommended.
-Disabled pause for URL streams.
-Lots of internal refactoring.
-Support for playlists v2 was added.
-Now data from playlist v2 is shown, then updated when metadata arrives.
-Can force a profile now, look in the .cfg file to see how.
-Dropped the 'b' as is redundant with the -pre.
-Now when pressing L and R, the song only auto starts if the user was currently playing a song.
-Added thread exit synchronization using the semaphore. (Should help make sure the app exits correctly).
-Removed forced network profile code. (As users having problems where able to solve them themselves).
-Tweaked the playlist v2 support so that it (hopefully, test) works with winamp .pls files. (Now I just
ignore the "NumberOfEntries"/"numberofentries" tag.
Raf.

Heres the info:
PSafeP 1.0
==========
By: Dark Killer
PSafeP is a windows tool to scan Sony PSP executable (EBOOT.PBP) files for suspicious code.
Important Note: Due to PSafeP scanning for any and all access to the flash memory, some legitimate software (ex: LUA Player, PSPInside) that accesses flash0 to load certain prx modules will fail the scan even though they are 100% percent safe.

Yoshihiro was interviewed by French Site Metagames.fr heres a excerpt from that interview which has been translated by PSP Vault
How did you come to the PSP? Do you own other consoles?
I came to the PSP because I found it was not a bad device at the begining and when I got my hands on one, homebrews weren't working yet.
A this time I used my PSP to watch my pictures but also to test its weakness and study its behaviour during the launch of eboot.pbp files like the 1.0 update from Sony launched in January 2005.
For the other consoles I own a modified PS2 with a HDD, 2 Xbox (one modified with a dev kit) and a modified Gamecube.
Ive mirrored the entire interview via the comments so that full comments can be made.
