Vita update adds video support and folders.

Sounds like a great update. Nice work, Sony!:D

Installed alrdy... it's quite nice! Especially now that you can play videos from your browser = win.

I'm glad we finally have folders, i separate my games as follows:

• PS+ IGC games
• Purchased games
• Demos
• PSone titles.
• Other various apps.

Conversely, it's a shame this rather amusing meme no longer applies :P

I haven't  been able to play any of the HTML vids frim Gamespot.  sadly.   I dont know why they won't work.

Love the folder option

Finally folders :D There was no space on my Vita :D So happy for that

Folders! Hot damn!

Folders made my vita neat!

I excited about the Vita. It is only improving!

I can't wait for Soul Sacrifice!!!

But anyway, this update was a lie. They said video support in browser was added. That's a lie. Let me clarify what Sony didn't. It added youtube support in the browser. I've yet to find any other site the Vita can actually play videos of. And what's the point of youtube within the browser anyway? We have an app for that. As you can imagine, I was severely disappointed that no pron streaming sites worked.

I'll have to check it out, especially if it sorts games based on whether they are cartridge, PSN, PSOne, mobile, PSP or demo games.  Still not sure how it all works.

I agree with burgeg about the 3DS having Nintendo's usual crappy organization efforts.  It's a shame that the video might not work though, especially if that's a big focus of the patch.

To be honest, I haven't turned on my Vita in a good week or two now.  Kinda sad, but true.

anyone having any trouble with the update? its not a major thing but before the update swiping to activate the vita was butter smooth. now there is a bit of a pause while the "paper" is tearing away before it reaches the main screen. Also the icon that pops up when new messages for a game are available (a new trophy for example) is a bit messed up for a split second. i use the loco roco avatar. never a problem on the old firmware. not serious issues but of note. other than that nice update. osan0

I've also noticed that I seem to be signed into PSN right away, without loading an app or game, and stay signed in going from app to app.  It used to sign me in each time I opened a different app, for example; going from Group Message to my Friends List.

Actually, this (button-based input for system menus) was implemented several months ago. You probably just didn't know it.

Just downloaded it. I am loving the folders, it's nice that they're transparent too so you can still see your backgrounds ^^

I am thinking of pre-ordering Soul Sacrifice off of PSN, you get some nice pre-order bonus'. Has anybody else done this?  

I downloaded the update, but I still can't tell what this folders business did.  Wasn't it supposed to change the 'bubble' dashboard?  Idk.  Maybe there's something I need to check in the settings to activate it first.  I'll mess with it later.

So I checked it all out a little bit ago.  It's nice being able to conserve so much space, and the transparent bubbles are nice, but it's awkward looking at a bunch of tiny bubbles in one big bubble.

It looks like each individual 'bubble' has the same amount of space inside of it as a regular dashboard page.  But I have not tried putting more than 10 programs in one bubble yet so I am not sure about that.  If they expand to hold several 'pages' within one folder bubble, then that is pretty cool.

I think the Vita could benefit from more dashboard updates in the future, but for now this is a very nice update since I don't have to scroll through several pages to locate this or that game.
