Sony has announced that a firmware update for PlayStation3 will be released later this week, as it is in preparation for the launch of PlayStation Vita in Japan on 17 December.
“Firmware 4.0 enables PS3 to act as a content hub for Vita. Things like games, music, photos, videos and save data can be shared from Vita to PS3. You’ll be able to use the PS3 to update firmware on Vita as well,” according to the PlayStation blog.
According to Just Push Start, the firmware will also include some unannounced features, such as the “ability to delete Vita system backup files, a new PS Plus icon on XMB, remote play settings for Vita and a Vita applications folder on XMB.”
