AH! CRAP O WELL I guess it doesn't really matter to me they warned up psp addicts too late and now we might just have to suffer for it.

I can add my voice to the chorus that says "it works great for me!" - Other than installation problems, I haven't seen anyone complain about any bugs or limitations. I can play all my games, the spiderman 2 umd, change themes, add wallpaper and browse the web without a problem. If there's a reason we shouldn't be updating it would seem to be a damn well hidden one...
