As expected, PlayStation 3 firmware update 4.78 and PlayStation Vita/PlayStation Vita firmware update 3.57 are now available to download.
Instead of adding the usual stability enhancements, the PS Vita and PS3 updates only remove Facebook features, with the singular patch note for each saying:
PS3 Update
Support for Facebook features on the system has been discontinued.
PS Vita/PS TV Update
Support for Facebook features on the systems has been discontinued.
For Vita, Sony says, “You might not be able to use some applications or content without first updating the system software,” and on PS3, they say, “Depending on the software title, you may not be able to play without first updating the PS3 system software.”
You can download the new firmware through the internet from the UK or US PlayStation sites, with the PS3 update requiring a minimum of 200MB.
