PSP Firmware v4.05 Released (TV and Movie Rentals?)

The update includes the following:

* Support for PLAYSTATION®Store Movies and TV video service.

* New effects have been added to the visual player under Music icon (Music).

The Movies and TV service part is not listed in the update features list on the PSP Network Update but it's listed on the this Playstation support page. It isn't very clear what the Movie and TV service update means but hopefully we'll soon see movie and TV show downloads in the Playstation Store. Maybe Sony has plans to reveal at tomorrow's press conference.
