BlinkLED v1.1 Released

I'm not sure if it's only me or if anyone else even noticed this.  Starting with FW 6.20 and later versions the WiFi LED has been switched up by Sony.  If you haven't noticed you sure will now.  It drives me crazy.  Anyway, the issue that I'm talking about is when you are on an active WiFi connection the LED just stays solid green instead of flashing and letting you know that data is being transfered.  I guess it's not that big of a deal but it bugs me.

Thanks to some good work by PSP Homebrew dev yuh0q223 and his update to BlinkLED you don't have to worry about this annoyance anymore.  After installing BlinkLED the WiFi LED will blink when there is activity.  You install and activate BlinkLED in vsh.txt and game.txt.

PlayStation Network Maintenance Scheduled for Tomorrow

Sony’s announced that the PlayStation Network will be offline tomorrow for most of the day, from approximately 8am until 10pm PST, clocking in at just over 14 hours. Users will be unable to access the PlayStation Store on both PSP and PS3, as well as account management and registration options during this timeframe.

Those already authenticated in PSN before the maintenance window hits may be able to continue playing online. No further details were spared, so we wouldn’t expect any surprises once PSN is back up and running. In the interim, sounds like a prime time to get busy with the single-player epic that is Skyrim.

Upcoming Change To PlayStation 3 And PSP Game Content On PlayStation Network

Game content downloaded from PlayStation Network (psp,ps3), after November will be dropped from 5 authorized activations to 2, meaning no more game-sharing for you and all your four other friends ... it's just you and one other -- so pick your one friend wisely. Unless of course someone comes up with a clever hack or workaround...

SCE plans to provide an account management website service letting you deactivate devices attached to your PSN account, instead of having to call their support line for them to deactivate the devices you no longer have access to. And believe me that's annoying. You can also manage activation settings through the PSP (or PS3) itself, should you still have the PSP (or PS3) in question.

The activation/license rights apply to all PSP models: PSP-1000/2000/3000 and of course the PSPgo.

Sony Reveals Digital Discounts for UMD Owners

Sony is launching a currently Japan-only initiative dubbed UMD Passport that will allow existing UMD owners to purchase digital conversions of titles they already own at a discount for PS Vita. Previously, the idea was merely being considered, but now it’s official.

How does it work? The program, which is run on a PSP — presumably for verification purposes, prompts users to register their UMD disc by following the on-screen instructions. From there, the title will display on the PS Store at the discount price.

Sony has offered up a complete list of eligible titles, with prices ranging from the 500 to 1500 yen mark ($20 US). Bare in mind the program has not been announced for other regions at this time. Given currency rates and licensing, pricing and available titles would of course differ if SCEA and SCEE roll out equivalents.
