According to the EU PlayStation Blog, it’s very nearly time for another firmware update, and the features included in version 3.15 have us yearning for an official release date (could it be this Thursday?).

Unfortunately, there’s no indication that cross-game chat is coming just yet. However, we can look forward to a controller synchronisation fix, the ability to transfer all system information, game saves and settings directly to another PS3 using a LAN cable, and a compatibility patch allowing gamers to play Minis titles on the PSP’s older brother from December 17th.
