Sony has officially unveiled its latest PlayStation update, which, as expected, introduces PS Vita support.

Firmware version 4.00 allows the PS3 to share music, video and images with the Vita [1], as well as game saves and additional connectivity features.

The update also ushers-in several PS3-specific upgrades, such as Blu-ray upscaling and security enhancements.

The company has added British English to the system language list too. Jolly good show, what.

Sony's PlayStation 3 software update rolls out from this week. For further information, visit the official PlayStation blog. [2] ®
