With the Japanese launch of the Playstation Vita less than a month away, Sony has released a software update in preparation.

Firmware 4.00 was described by Eric Lempel, VP Sony Network Entertainment, as an update “that will prepare PlayStation 3 to serve as a content management device.”

It will allow users to copy their digital content such as games, music, photos, and videos between PS Vita and PS3, back up PS Vita game games including save data to your PS3 hard drive, and update the system software for your PS Vita system using the network features of your PS3.

Other changes were also included in the update for Playstation Plus subscribers. Members can now enable and disable the following individual automatic updates:

  • Game patches
  • System software
  • Recommended games and videos
  • Sync trophy information
Privacy settings have also been added under the Account Management section for all users.
