SEGA is working on a Phantasy Star game for PlayStation Portable called Phantasy Star Portable, due out in 2008.

That’s according to a report in the latest issue of Famitsu (picked up on by 1UP).

The game is being developed by Tales of the World developer Alfa System, and is described as “essentially a PSP version of Phantasy Star Universe, including expansion pack Ambition of the Illuminus” by those who’ve seen the story.

There will be new original stories too, apparently, and a four-player co-operative mode via ad-hoc wireless networking, although online multiplayer is not said to be planned.

Sony just released the PSP firmware 3.73. What new goodies are in this update you say? Well, not much really. Here’s what Sony has to say:

New for 3.73: Operation of the UMD drive has been improved to address cases in which the UMD drive occasionally suspends and fails to reload data. Updating the system software to version 3.73 will resolve this issue.

So, go ahead and upgrade, just don’t expect much.
