The latest update for the PlayStation 3, version 4.50, opens up a miles requested feature to all PSN users, where it was previously only available to Plus subscribers. Players may also be ready to share data between their Vitas and PlayStation 3s over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for cables.

You can inspect the complete list of upgrades below. If the update is simply not already available, it can be available just a little later tonight.

• Auto download of system software updates have been expanded to support all PSN users.
• Auto download support of purchases made at the Sony Entertainment Network may be made available to all PSN users.
• New options for trophy privacy settings allow users to set which trophies are visible.
• Data can now be transferred from PS3 to PS Vita using Wi-Fi or an ethernet connection.

Our Take
I’m happy to look the automobile download service extended to non-PlayStation Plus subscribers. PlayStation Plus has proven itself to be a worthwhile investment for heavy PS3 users, but this actual function seemed a bit excessive. From the start it gave the impression of something that needs to were available to everyone, especially considering how much people complain concerning the PlayStation 3’s frequent updates. i’m wondering if auto downloading for every person will extend to the PlayStation 4, or if this can revert to its old habits once the following generation arrives.
