Sony updates PSP firmware to v3.0, adds remote playback

We started talking about the v3.0 PSP firmware update back in March. Now that the PS3 has come out, with it comes a whole host of new features and interopeability. Sony is set to release the v3.0 update in the US over next few days. The update includes:

• Revisions to strengthen security
• PlayStation Network titles are now supported under [Game].
• [Remote Play] has been added as a feature under [Network].
• [Online Instruction Manuals] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].
• A visual player has been added as a feature under [Music].
• 3-speed fast forward and fast reverse has been added as a feature under [Photo].
• [UMD Auto-Start] has been added as a feature in [System Settings] under [Settings].

I think that you should be rewarded for staying loyal to a gaming manufacturer (besides it making sense) and these streaming additions to connect the PSP and PS3 are more than welcome in my book, while others disagree. Over time I think hope that Sony will add even more functionality between the two devices.
