This is not the case! Because all Sony online services dropped support for SSL by December 2014, you can't use the update feature to have the PSP go online to get its update.

Worse yet, due to the generic language of the boilerplate instructions Sony has on its firmware page, it makes it seem like you can just download this update over Wi-Fi and have the PSP automatically apply it or use a UMD to get it.

New for 6.61: System software stability during use of some features has been improved.There is nothing there about SSL, nothing about TLS, nothing about PSN not working, and nothing about how many Web sites are unreachable on PSP's running anything earlier than 6.61. However, if you were to go by the description on the official Sony page about it, you'd never know what it is for. This was released on December 12th, 2014. That's right, no browsing PSN, no buying games, downloading DLC, videos, music, or anything through Sony's services and any other site which uses only TLS.īut there is a solution! Surprising many people including myself, Sony issued a firmware update numbered 6.61 for PSP's. Now while this isn't a concern for many PSP owners as most of them don't routinely use their PSP's to connect to Web sites, some do - and more importantly for most PSP owners, you can't use PSN for _anything_ if you don't address this issue. Thus if you go to one of these ever-growing-in-number Web sites (such as grc.com,, , or m.) you will be unable to connect with the PSP's Web browser. But with the disclosure of the Poodle Attack, security-conscious Web sites dropped support for SSL. However, PSP's with version 6.60 and older of the PSP firmware only have support for SSL and no support for TLS. Due to this, most Web sites accessed over HTTPS dropped support of SSL to force connections to use the newer and secure TLS. There is a flaw in the design of SSL 3.0 which basically makes "secure" connections insecure if they are being attacked by someone using the Poodle Attack. You see, late in 2014 there was an attack, an exploit, made publicly known as the Poodle Attack. without doing some work to get things working again!
