Not only does it make managing game saves via PlayStation Plus (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/playstation-vita-ps-plus-20th-november-launch/) easier, but the bubbles representing menu functions, games and apps are noticeably crisper, too. Sony has also added is the ability to toggle wireless connectivity -- WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G and airplane mode -- by holding down the system's blue PS button. The features don't stop rolling there either, as you can now play media stored on a PC or PS3 remotely, without using the kludgy Remote Play app or copying the files to your handheld. While we've listed a quartet of tweaks here, there are a slew of other changes detailed in a video after the break and Sony has the full release notes on its official site (http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/psvita/index.htm).
