PSA: PS3 Firmware Update 3.15 available now

Looking to try out that PSP Mini on your preposterously sized high definition television? Though we can't promise the results will be particularly gorgeous, we're pleased to announce that the option is now available to you. Sony just launched PS3 Firmware Update 3.15, which allows you to play PSP Minis on your decidedly un-Mini console. In addition, the patch makes it easier to transfer files between PS3s using only a LAN cable. Read here to learn more about this functionality, and simply go to the System Update option on the XMB to get the patch!

yeah that's the one i tried.

Shouldn't there be a way to tell the Ps3 that it is the same console somehow? This kind of bunks out the whole back up process

its not mandatory, well not this one at least

I'll be updating tonight. Haven't had chance.

I updated to firmware 3.15 and am using the transfer feature right now.
Few tidbits: When connecting the two PS3s via ethernet (any cable will work, crossover or regular), I had to use the switch on the back of my PS3 fat to turn it off rather than the soft off, else they didn't see each other on turning back on. Also, the progress bar estimated about an hour and a half, but it's been over 2 hours to transfer so far.

I did run into that old issue where folding wouldn't quit because it has a pending update (have to open it manually and accept the update to fix that), but no issues encountered thus far.
