Dudes. I’m going to Italy for two weeks. I haven’t been there in ten years! Unless I can find free Wifi at hotels and feel compelled to post from my PSP, this will be the last you hear from me for a while.

VIVA ITALIA!

There’s not a whole lot of information out there about it, but “Undiluted Platinum” is a PSP modchip!

It won’t let you play backups by itself, but it will let you switch between firmware versions of your choice.

This is super awesome news and means that you’ll be able to play groundbreaking games like Loco Roco which require firmware 2.7, then switch back to the homebrew-enabled 1.5 to play Super Nintendo games and other neat things like PSPRadio.

I just hope this isn’t another one of those things that sounds awesome and then never sees the light of day. I’m looking at you, ICE!

Background downloads are coming to the Xbox360. Finally. That was the one thing that really annoyed me about Live.

There’s plenty more included in next week’s dashboard update, and Joystiq’s got the scoop, complete with screenshots.
