In preparation of the PSP 6.20 update, a new Media Go update is available. For those that don’t know, Media Go is an iTunes like application that you can use to manage your music, games, and photos for the PSP. You can also access the PlayStation Store within the application.
Media Go Version 1.3
- Bonus digital copy from purchased DVD or Blu-ray Discs can be transferred to PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) systems.
- Comics purchased through the PlayStation® Store can be transferred to PSP™ systems (requires PSP™ Update version 6.20).
- Video and photo playlists can be transferred to PSP™ systems (requires PSP™ Update version 6.20).

- A new reel has been added to the large-screen view to make it easier to quickly navigate your media.
Most interesting is the ability to check for and download PSP system updates once it is connected to Media Go. Another feature that did get me excited was the Downloads view. I was hoping with this update that I would be able to queue downloads but was sad to find that the PSP must still be connected to Media Go for a download to take place. The system also restricts you to one download at a time which is painful for users looking to purchase and download multiple items to their PSP or PC.
