PSP firmware 6.36 is soon to make the rounds, yet not through the usual channels. Reports on Japanese message boards indicate that it’s included on UMD copies of Capcom’s Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. The yet to be released title ships out to retailers in the region this week — December 1.

Given the incremental version bump, this firmware is likely a non-event. It may contain fixes specifically for MHP or, as we’ve come to expect, under-the-hood ‘security’ patches aimed at locking out homebrew users and nefarious pirates.
