Board ate my first post, so I'll just make this one cut and dry with the instructions. First, PSP firmware v2.70 is now available through Network Update in the US, Europe, and Japan. If you don't have wireless, you can download it here:

Now for the really good stuff; the update also finally lets executables run off of mem stick, and the first thing available for this is a demo for Loco Roco, which you can play right now, regardless of firmware region, but it must be 2.70. To get the demo, first go here:

Played the demo, didn't seem too interesting. Will try again when I wake up sometime in the late afternoon, considerably less doped up on sleeping medication.
