VWP Validity

Hi,

Long time lurker first time poster. Flyertalk for me is the font of all useful aviation knowledge so I thought it was about time I actually saved up.

I apologise in advance for asking this question as it's probably been done before but here goes..

My UK passport doesn't have a digital photograph printed on the info page at the back. It is machine readable and I have used it to travel in and out of the USA on the VWP on three separate occasions already this calendar year, the latest occasion being at the end of May. I'm off to SFO in December and on reading the VWP requirements it says that I need to have a digital photograph in my passport if it was issued after October 26th 2005 which mine is, by a couple of weeks. Have the rules changed since May and should I therefore organise myself a new passport or am I still fine to travel on the one I have?

Thanks in advance for any help! Gonna be my last trip on a 744 I'd hazard so I don't want anything to go wrong!
