Message Text: PlayStation 3 (PS3) will receive its next system software update shortly ? v. 3.15, which enables existing PS3 owners who purchase a new PS3 system to transfer their content from their current PS3 to the new system.

Content such as games, game save data, and videos downloaded from PlayStation Network can be transferred to the new PS3 system and deleted from the current PS3 system. Other content, including personal media files (photos, music, videos), can be copied onto the new PS3 and remain on the current PS3 system.

Here?s a quick primer on how the Data Transfer Utility works.

Data Transfer Utility

1. Turn both the current PS3 (A) and new PS3 (B) on and connect them with a LAN cable; PS3 (A) should be connected to the TV. Please note, firmware (v3.15) must be installed on both systems.
2. On the XMB of PS3 (A), scroll to the Settings category and select [System Settings] and then [Data Transfer Utility]
3. Follow the instructions on-screen and transfer data
4. After transferring the data, follow the instructions on-screen, and then connect PS3 (B) to the TV to view the XMB
5. If content that was downloaded from PlayStation Store was transferred as part of this operation, you must activate PS3 (B) before you can use the data. Log in to the PS3 system as the user who owns the content, and then select (PlayStation Network) > (Account Management) > (System Activation) to activate the system.

The 3.15 update also enables "minis" to be played on a PS3 system. "minis" launched on PlayStation Network this fall in conjunction with the launch of PSPgo. These bite-sized games offer a more casual experience and are ideal for shorter gameplay sessions. Now PS3 owners will be able to play "minis," and those who own both a PS3 and PSP system will be able to play on either platform. "minis" for the PS3 system will be available for download on PlayStation Store in the coming weeks. Users who have purchased any "minis" already for their PSP and the title becomes available for PS3 will simply need to download the title to your PS3.
