PSVita OFW 2.0 Confusion
We have been waiting for quite a long time now, expecting the new update, but now sources are claiming that the update has been delayed for a day. The firmware update will be released on the 20th in America and on the 21st in Europe. There is a lot of confusion (we kinda contributed to it) relating to this update now because some sources state that the update is already out in North America and Japan (GamerSyndrome) while others claim that it has been delayed for a day (UberGizmo). None of the update servers suggest anything, neither the Vita Update Alarm, nor does Sony’s official site suggest it so, chances are that it is just a big confusion.
But, what we do know is that a bit more information has been released by Sony about the web browser, the web browser can now be run while playing a game, unlike before, now you don’t have to quit the game to surf the web. The browser is being called a ‘small app’
Yoshida himself just says that he does not know the exact time when it will be released and has not clearly detailed the day. He seems to be more busy promoting this new ability to multi-task.
For more information, check out Shuhei Yoshida’s twitter feed here
EDIT:
Turns out that Sony finally decided to give us some information about the update. Based on this, the update will be released at 9pm PST or 5:00 am GMT (Thanks to Blaze for the information!)
Ok I have 2 so ill let u know what the final verdict is about the homebrew. One is for ofw the other is for ecfw.
Fail lol
I wanna see the small app in action, since i wont be updating soon..
4 more hours lads! 🙂 or more ‘—-‘ \(e.e\)!
FROM PSN WEBSITE:
Limited Time Sale Offer: Music Unlimited Premium One Year Subscription
80% off the PS Store Special Price for PlayStation Plus members (PS Store Limited Time Sale price: $59.99, PS Plus Price: $12.00)
So really if we do that 1 month free PS+ offer, we can purchase the 1 year music unlimited for $12? lol did sony not think that through?
Well, I think that they’re desperate to sell more vitas, so maybe this is a good move. I work with design, advertising and marketing in Brazil (all together O.o) and I use some aggressive strategy. Every Vita would pick music unlimited and ps+ for a month and a free game (not the ps+ ones, maybe super stardust or retro city rampage) as a gift for xmas. That should boost the consoles sales, after all we, vita owners, would tell to everyone how “good” sony was…
The idea is to get you to try PS+, and to enjoy it enough that you’ll stick with them. A guy who pays them $15 a month is better for them than a guy who just buys video games once in a while. It guarantees them a fairly stable revenue stream, which is very good for their business because it allows them to make plans for the future, based on the idea that this part of the money will not vary too much (or keep increasing) over time.
So I’m not surprised that they’re trying very hard to get you on PS+, even if it’s the free trial initially
True that, but Im not gonna be buying PS+, Ive had the code for the 1 month trial sitting in my inbox for a week now… should probably use it haha.
2.0 is out for me testing urbanix soon
Hhhmmmm should i update or wait and hack this thing and finally play kingdom hearts and final fantasy 7 god this is a hard decision to make
Sony is currently forcing Content Manager update.
It will most likely block the current exploits, but not a later one.
On the north american playstation blog it said the update will be released 9:00pm pst.
I cant copy and paste the link because im using my vita at the moment.Lol

DO NOT UPDATE!!!
IT’S A TRAP!
Damn, I just got T@G. It needs a internet connection so to keep using T@G I will have to update.
I think I will put it in airplane mode so it doesn’t update till I find out more abotu 2.00 and eCFW
9:00pm pst = 12:00am est
Persona 4 or PSP games…quite the choice, there…
I got persona 4 early, no firmware update required. I would buy it in store if you don’t want to update your firmware.
do you think one of those free games will lead to an exploit?
Apoligies, VIta OFC 2.00 is actually not live yet… who cares!
Well most of us do… thats why we read this site, if you dont care then shut up and dont read the blog.
yeah, nice block man, hehe I agree, shut up man and dont read this blog! XD

Tell us what horrors it does to eCFW when you finish. im keeping my vitas in airplane mode until i know the coast is clear….
Sadly i never had eCFW so i cant tell you, but overall its ***. i did a browser test and it still has a low rating.
