Today, Sony announced its version 4.00 firmware for the PlayStation Portable gaming system.  The new firmware will add Google search capabilities to the XrossMediaBar, meaning that gamers will no longer need to even switch from one screen to another in order to find FAQs or endless amounts of gaming trivia and factoids .  The search function is billed as delivering the “same Google search results as when searching on http://www.google.com” and will also feature a history function that stores up to twenty previous searches.  In slightly less spectacular news, the 4.00 firmware will also allow users to control the viewing speed of movies stored on their memory sticks.
