PS3 Firmware 3.15 dated and detailed

It looks like about the upcoming firmware update for the PS3, 3.15 has been announced with official details about what’s going to be included. From what we’re hearing, the update will be optional but will allow users to hook up their PSPgo’s to their PS3, and any Mini that you’ve bought, you can now play on the home console. You will also be able to transfer data from one PS3 to another via an Ethernet cable.

The update is hitting on Dec. 17th, and from then on can enjoy all of your Minis on your 1080p TV! (although you have to actually own a PSPgo).
