If you been wondering if US psp gamers like you and me were going to get PSP firmware 5.0 like Japan are getting, then I’ve got some good news. You see, Playstation have just announced that the latest firmware will be available to US psp gamers some time soon. (Rumors has it that it will be ready for download in the coming days.)

Anyway, what this means for you is that you will be able to access the Playstation store right from your psp. However, it is not going to like the Japanese version where you get to download psp games. Well, not at the moment anyway.

You see, with the US version, there will be an option to enter your PSN Card numbers and voucher codes. The categories in the store are still up in the air, but there will be categories like UMD Legacy games, themes, video, and even music. Now, if they can only add downloadable psp games, then that is awesome.

Anyway, once we hear more about psp firmware 5.0, we’ll make sure you are the first to know about.
