Every week (except for last week where it slipped by me) PSP Fanboy brings you a great new podcast that you can use your PSP's RSS feature to subscribe to. Those that remember the feature call it RSS this!

This week I'm going to do something a bit unorthadox. This week's RSS podcast only has 3 episodes and hasn't been updated in over a month. The reason I'm linking to the podcast though is because there was some serious quality work done on the podcast when it was being done and it only hasn't been updated due to a personal tragedy in Randy Nelson's life. I want to wish Randy the best and let him know that myself and several other PSM fans can't wait for the podcast to be up and running. I also enjoy PSM as a magazine, so I respect what they're trying to do over there and they're easily my favorite platform specific mag.

Out of only 3 podcasts, Randy interviewed Ted Price of Insomniac Games and Ryan Payton of Kojima Studios as well as spill the news about the possibility of more MGS titles on PSP and give out plenty of PlayStation news. Randy has promised that when the podcast does come back, it will feature more of the PSM cast and whenever that day comes, I'll be there to listen to it. Feel free to show your support as well. I'm sure after listening to the podcasts that were done, you'll want to anyway.

If you want to add PSM Podcast to your PSP's RSS, just bring up this site with your PSP through our mobile version at m.pspfanboy.com and clink this link: http://www.psmpodcast.com/audio/?feed=rss2&category_name=podcasts Then you can exit your web browser and the show should be in your RSS channels. From there you can set a timer for auto-download of episodes, stream them, or download them directly.

Every week PSP Fanboy brings you a great new podcast that you can use your PSP's RSS feature to subscribe to. The masters of the universe call it RSS this!

This week we're featuring an establishment that has been around seemingly forever, but is relatively new to the podcast scene: EGM. Their podcast is titled EGM Live* and features a rotating cast of EGM personalities like Crispin Boyer, Jennifer Tsao, Shane Bettenhausen, Micheal Donahoe and more. Every week they focus on what's new in gaming news like most podcasts, but since they work for EGM, they sometimes break exclusive news on the podcast, so it always makes it worth a listen.

One thing I'd like to see more from EGM Live* is more episodes featuring Seanbaby since every time he's on the show I laugh to the point of crying and have to put a hand over my mouth to prevent myself from laughing loudly and confusing my fellow employees. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea as they say, but the people who don't like him can listen to the sounds of their friends pretending to like them instead. I'd also like to see more Batman & Robin sound effects, because I can't get enough. Other than that, I'd just like the podcast to be longer, but I can understand that the staff does have a magazine to put out and that may not be practical.

If you want to add EGM Live* to your PSP's RSS, just bring up this site with your PSP through our mobile version at m.pspfanboy.com and clink this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/1up/EGMpodcast Then you can exit your web browser and the show should be in your RSS channels. From there you can set a timer for auto-download of episodes, stream them, or download them directly.

Q: The Mega Drive was 16-bit, the PS1 was 32-bit, the N64 as 64-bit, and the PS2 was 128-bit. We don't use the word "bit" with the new genrations of consoles. Why is that?
A: Bits simply don't matter anymore. Why? Because most information you'll need will fit into 32 bit packets. Also, what are we measuring bits from? We have multiple CPUs, GPUs (and even PPUs) in modern gaming equipment, all of varying bit qualities. The PSP has a 32-bit CPU with a 128-bit bus and a GPU with a 256-bit bus. However you want to spin that, that either means the PSP is a 32-bit or a 256-bit system. Hopefully, this proves how useless these "bit" numbers are in determining performance.

I'm sure several readers are familiar with the Evil Avatar site, but perhaps you're not yet aware that they have their very own radio show/podcast. Hosted by Phillip Kollar, Amanda Ochsner with the involvement of several Evil Avatar regulars. Like the site, the radio show is focused on not just reporting the news, but giving opinions on it and discussing gaming with their vibrant community. Sarcasm and self deprecation flow almost as much as the gaming info does and the distinct style that the show is performed help it stand out from other podcasts. If you haven't yet checked out Evil Avatar Radio, you should give it a listen, because it's likely it won't be the last time you do so.

If you want to add the Evil Avatar Radio podcast to your PSP's RSS, just bring up this site with your PSP through our mobile version at m.pspfanboy.com and click this link: http://www.evilavatarradio.com/?feed=rss2 Then you can exit your web browser and the show should be in your RSS channels. From there you can set a timer for auto-download of episodes, stream them, or download them directly.

Every week PSP Fanboy brings you a great new podcast that you can use your PSP's RSS feature to subscribe to. We uncreatively called the feature RSS this!

It's time for a little shameless inner-joystiq self promotion. This week we're going to recommend you listen to Xbox 360 Fanboy's very own fancast. Every week the fancast will keep you up to date on all the happenings in the world of Xbox. Hosted by Richard Mitchell, Dustin Burg and David Dreger, the fancast features site news, Xbox developments, listener mail and also questions for listeners to ponder. As with any good podcast, there's humor mixed in with all the information and even if this was your only source for Xbox 360 news, it'd really be all you need.

While you may not own an Xbox 360 now, you'll probably own one eventually, so listen in. If you want to add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Fancast to your PSP's RSS, just bring up this site with your PSP through our mobile version at m.pspfanboy.com and click on this link: http://podcasts.xbox360fanboy.com/rss.xml Then you can exit your web browser and the show should be in your RSS channels. From there you can set a timer for auto-download of episodes, or stream them and save them to a memory stick.

Q: I subscribed to "The 1UP Show" RSS feed and had it download overnight. When I go to it under videos it says "unsupported movie type" or something like that. It is a mp4 file and if I run it through PSP Video 9 it'll play. But I'd like to to play right off the bat. Any clue? I'm also having the same problems with "On the Spot" from gamespot.com. Also what are the restrictions on mp4 files for the PSP?

A: The PSP has some peculiar restrictions with video playback. The two you should focus on are video resolution and bitrate. Videos are limited to a maximum of 76800 pixels (320x240, for example), and a video bitrate of 768kbps. You should make sure that videos that aren't named in Sony's proprietary Memory Stick format (MAQ, M4V) are placed in your Memory Stick under a folder called "VIDEO."

Unfortunately, it appears that "The 1UP Show" is now encoded at a much higher resolution than the PSP is allowed to play back. You may want to download PSP-compatible files directly from The 1UP Show website.

This week's spotlight is one that many gamers probably already subscribe to, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of praise. 1up Yours is 1up.com 's premiere weekly podcast. A typical episode can consist of developer interviews, rumors, news, community features and general conversation about games. The cast usually consists of John Davison, Garnett Lee, Luke Smith and Shane Bettenhausen.

One of the most listened to and respected video game podcast around, 1up Yours is a passionate, informative and humorous journey into what makes gaming great and what it needs to do better. When the podcasters aren't attacking their separate viewpoints on gaming, they mock their sexuality. The best part though is since everyone is so honest, you get to know them and even if you don't agree with them, they stay endearing.

If you haven't yet heard 1up Yours and you want to add it to your PSP's RSS, just bring up this site with your PSP through our mobile version at m.pspfanboy.com and click on this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/1up/podcast. Then you can exit your web browser and the show should be in your RSS channels. From there you can set a timer for auto-download of episodes or stream them so you don't take up memory stick space.

There are many reasons why the iPod is so successful and popular. One of those reasons is simplicity: iTunes allows music listeners to sync the music on their computers and the music on their portables quite easily. The latest release, iTunes 7, allows album art and relevant track information to be downloaded automatically. Kingbee116 from the PlayStation forums has come up with a solution for PSP owners, using software called MediaMonkey. This iTunes-like program will allow your PSP to become a better MP3 player, and will ensure that your songs feature album art when they play back on your PSP. Get detailed, step by step instructions at the PlayStation forums.

Of course, the PSP has one feature that the iPod currently doesn't have: built-in wi-fi. Kingbee116 has yet another incredibly detailed guide which shows you how to make the most out of your PSP's RSS feature. With his tutorial, you'll be able to stream internet radio wherever you have a wi-fi connection. Certainly, his tutorial will go quite handily with our newly launched feature, RSS this!

[Thanks, Kingbee116!]

You may have noticed a lot of changes here at PSP Fanboy. We just keep trying harder to help our readers get the most out of their PSP. With that in mind, this new feature RSS this! will show you some great feeds to subscribe to using the PSPs RSS ability.

This week I want to introduce you to a radio show/podcast that you may or may not be aware of. All Games Interactive is one of the only daily podcasts around and most importantly, it's about games. The ringmaster of the show is Scot Rubin who gamers may remember back when he hosted G4TV.com, one of the only shows that was ever worth watching on the now non-gaming network. He is joined by show producer Lawrence Young and Jessica Villarreal who delivers the news.

If Howard Stern was obsessed with gaming the result would be something like All Games Interactive. Other than delivering all the day's gaming news, the show often deals with the private lives of those involved with the show. AGI also features interviews with game creators and is part of an online gaming radio network titled All Games. The show airs live or can be listened to in podcast form later the same day. If you like your gaming podcast filled with humor, sexually charged dialog and occasional technical issues than All Games Interactive is for you. I know I can't stop listening to it myself.

If you too want to listen to All Games Interactive, just go into your PSP's web browser and click this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllGamesInteractive. Then you can exit your web browser and AGI should be in your RSS channels.Alternatively you can always just download the shows episodes and listen to them from your music folder.

Sony has an RSS feed called the "PlayStation Mayhem." You can check it out by typing http://psp.us.playstation.com/rss into your PSP browser, or check it out on your PC by clicking here.

What Sony says:
"PlayStation Mayhem is your source on the streets for all that's poppin' in games, gadgets, style, new music, celebs, insider PlayStation dish and more. Join the Mayhem each week for exclusive and original interviews, crazy stunts and cool new stuff you won't get anywhere else."

What the Mayhem says:
"Yo yo yo dude... we be the PlayStation MAYhem. Mah man, PlayStation is THE SHIZNITZ. We ain't playin' cuz we too busy playin' our PSP."

What PSP Fanboy says:
"It's somewhat sad to see corporate white guys pretending to be 'cool' and 'hip'. I'm glad Sony's trying to use all the features of the system, but this is a bit too forced for my tastes. It's like Dell using FTW."

You know YouTube, right? And GameVideos? How about Grouper? I've honestly never head of them until now. The service is pretty much like every other video uploading service, except Grouper is now owned by Sony Pictures. Sony paid $65 million to own these obvious Sony fanboys (watch the video after the cut). Like Google Video, all the videos available on the site can be downloaded in PSP format, but even cooler than that, there are PSP-compatible RSS feeds, so you can have crazy viral videos, or some "sexy" videos delivered to your PSP on a daily basis. In fact, checking out the RSS feed, you'll have access to hundreds of videos on 2.80+ PSPs. It's sorta insane.

After weeks of delay, it's finally done: the ultimate collection of video podcasts, compatible with your PSP... and accessible from your PSP! I've taken all the podcasts that were already featured on the site, took your suggestions, and even found some more. Then, to sweeten the deal, I put it on my personal PSP-compatible page. To access it on your PSP, simply type anyo.org into your PSP browser. It'll take you where you need to go. For all the RSS feeds that I found, go past the cut.

[Thanks to everyone who contribued!]

Want to listen to your iTunes music from anywhere in your home? The iTunesRSSServer allows you to use your PSP's RSS functionality to stream your iTunes library. Sure there are alternatives, but none are as easy or as free. Obviously, purchased music and videos won't work on the PSP, but the program is smart enough to not display those files. There are a few glitches I discovered in my test: it appears that downloading music files corrupts them (especially AAC files).

So, you know that "video podcasts" are the big new thing about this new firmware. But what are they? How do they worK? Sony has provided a pretty clear website that you can browse on your PSP. It even includes a sample RSS feed from which you can download music and videos from. Try using the website to get a good feel for it. Visit the following URL:
