PSP Firmware 6.00 Released, Underwhelms

A quick trip over to Network Update has turned up a new PSP firmware: 6.00. Despite the major version increment, this one is practically devoid of any significant changes. The underwhelming changelog in all its entirety is detailed below.
* Games can now be grouped and displayed in folders based on their expire date under [Game].
* Under [Settings], [Network Update] has been changed to [System Update]. Under [System Update], you can now choose how to update the system software.
* The number of colors that can be selected under [Settings] > [Theme Settings] has been increased.
* Revisions to strengthen security have been added. (Internet Browser)
Extra XMB colors? A nice touch, but not what we were expecting. No new features or usability enhancements makes this update quite a letdown. We suspect there are a lot of “under the hood” changes to support the PSPgo, but honestly, that is of no tangible benefit to us. Makes you wonder why Sony refrained from waiting until more features were ready to avoid disappoint.
