Also of note: the PS3 has also gotten a firmware update today as well, and the homebrew scene is saying that it has the same patch notes as the Vita which are as follows:

• Signing in to PlayStation Network now requires a device setup password for enhanced account protection.
• Account creation for PlayStation network and some account management features are no longer available on the console. Use your PC or Mobile browser to use account management features with improved performance, speed, and safety
