Some of the problems that this article mentions (like the PSP not connecting to modern wifi) can't even be addressed by software/firmware updates. The PSP's hardware supports 802.11b and WEP. There is no way to make it support newer 802.11 standards, nor to support WPA2, just like virtually all other hardware which was released before WPA2 existed. Also, the PSP can install firmware updates from game discs, and I believe also from local (USB-accessible) storage.
