Video shows Japanese 3.80 firmware in action
Our friend at PSP GadgetZ has just uploaded a new video, highlighting all the features of the Japanese version of firmware 3.80. While the rest of the world must be satisfied with internet radio (which we are), the Japanese get the very cool ability to record shows from their 1seg tuner. Yes, the PSP is a DVR machine in Japan, and we're incredibly jealous.
Firmware 3.80 now available via Network Update

- [Internet Radio] has been added as a feature under [Network].
- The importing of channels in OPML format is now supported under [RSS Channel].
- Photos can now be displayed under [RSS Channel].
- New effects have been added to the visual player under [Music]. Only one new visualizer has been added. It acts like a slow Etch-a-Sketch.
Note: To install an internet radio system to your system, you must follow instructions included in the new firmware. To access, click here. There are two internet radio systems available, each with its own stations. There are a huge variety of stations available, covering a number of genres (J-Pop and K-Pop included!). We hope to have a video hands-on tomorrow.
PSP gains DVR and internet radio functionality in firmware 3.80

Internet radio will also be added in the next firmware upgrade. Exactly how the service will work is unclear at this time. [Update: Images have surfaced on Watch Impress' website.]
DVR is a huge feature that unfortunately isn't possible outside of Japan unless appropriate peripherals are released globally. However, internet radio is hopefully something all PSP users around the world will be able to take advantage of. Once again, PSP is expanding its capabilities, becoming more features-packed than anyone could've predicted.
