Sony gives the PlayStation Spot service a major upgrade today via the latest firmware update, which push the version number to 3.10 now. Japanese PSP owners can now download game demos to their memory sticks, download exclusive wallpapers, update their firmware, browse the Internet and play Infrastructure enabled games from PlayStation TV, the kiosks that Sony installed on store front across Japan to promote the PlayStation 3.

As far as PSPs outside Japan are concerned, there is no confirmation on the update but my 1006K PSP detected a new upgrade and I have downloaded the 21mb file. The new changes are listed as below, and although it wasn’t listed here, you can now prevent frequent memory errors while browsing the Internet. This can be changed by launching the Internet browser, press the triangle button to bring up the menu bar, click on Tools > Settings > View Settings and turn on Conserve Memory.

• Support for PLAYSTATION Network titles has been expanded
• Support for the MPEG-4 AVC format has been added under [LocationFree Player]
• [Dynamic Normalizer] has been added as a feature under [Sound Settings] in [Settings]
