Getting ready for the Vita Japanese release? Well, The new PS3 software update was released yesterday to get your PS3 ready for the arrival of the PS Vita. According to the official PlayStation blog, “update (v4.00) will prepare your PS3 to serve as a content management device”. That basically means that you will be able to save all your digital content (music, movies, saved data, games …) between your PS3 and the PS Vita. You will also be able to update your Vita using the PS3 network. Although the main theme for this update is introducing the PS Vita management system to your PS3, but there will be some other features (mainly for PlayStation Plus members) installed in the process, as after the update PS+ members will be able to choose to enable of disable each of the previous (v3.72) automatic update features (game patches, software update, Sync trophies …). There will be also a “new PlayStation Network setting for filtering friend requests and messages” for all users.
For more information, tips on installation or questions regarding the new software update, visit this link.

On the side of “great news” Brazilian Portuguese is now a possible language on the selection. BUT we remain without pt-br standart keyboards

Has the notification when you download an update that tells you specifically what it is changing always been there? I updated last night and there was a nice short page with 4 or 5 bullets after the update stating the main features. I’ve never noticed it before.

I usually set mine to update at night when I am sleeping, I get that message also, but I think its part of the PS+ auto update feature. pretty nifty lol

worst update every.. I was in the middle of upgrading my HD when this went live.. or rather just before..so like a dope I upgraded. Then my new HD wouldn’t read (a fairly common problem noone talks about) the solution is to do (as the instructions tell you) and copy the firmware to a flash drive and then push start/select. Only problem is my PS3 was at 4.00 and the website only had 3.72 so I spent 5-6 hours trying to upgrade my HD only to have to give up until tomorrow when I could get the proper firmware. INSANELY frustrating, but it’s pretty much past me now and i’m downloading everything all over again.
anyone know what this is yet?

there is a health warning every time i power up my ps3 now. I understand people should game in moderation but seeing it every time at start up is annoying. I hope there is a way to disable it

they allow you to choose which updates to download but most of them are necessary anyway, no point in ticking off any of them

oh that isn’t just a one time thing? FUGGG.. man that is unnecessarily annoying.

I think it is a one time thing…mine only popped up the first time. Maybe it has to do with when you change discs or something, but I know I have only seen the message once since the update.

#12 by mowmow on December 5th, 2011 [ 16993 Points ]

Not really a big deal guys, shows up only for the seconds it take to power up the PS3 XMB.
