I would be ok with these updates if they let me play all my PSP / Minis I had.. sadly only some of them work...
WIth all the problems online functionality brings to consoles, maybe it would just be better that the next generation goes retro, and consoles become consoles again, leaving behind all this bullshit.
I think it'd be worth the trade-off.

This firmware was also designed to stop the recent homebrew attempts on the PS Vita (via the PSP emulator). Nice to see that, once again, the regular consumer suffers for it.
So, what, are you angry they didn't ship out broken firmware and did the right thing by taking it down to fix it?
Also, this is the first time I ever remember a firmware update being pulled... so yeah, there's that.

In more important news: It appears people actually use ad hoc parties on the Vita?! That's what this article should have been about!
I think 3DS has had all of two firmware updates. Vita's already ahead of them on firmware updates - except Nintendo's have added worthwhile features and not broken anything.
Though they could stand to get out one more to add folders, My main menu is getting cluttered with the 40+ games I have on it.

@SephirothX you be wrong... http://www.destructoid.com/disaster-report-sony-pulls-firmware-2-40-after-user-complaints-93481.phtml
Does one of the bugs include the system freezing? Cause my roommate was playing Plants Vs Zombies last night and complained 3 times about it freezing.
Christ, it's like zombies got ahold of teeth whitening strips right before they decided to eat me. Disturbing image.
The woman to the far left looks especially fearsome, like her lips are peeling back before the big bite.

Does this update have anything to do with DRM though???
So far haven't all Vita updates brought new features?
Or are you just painting the Vita with the PSP's brush?
I dunno, I'm just glad i didn't get round to updating it yet - too busy smashing Everybody's golf....

Their firmware process is not any better with the vita, sure you background download it now, but it is still such a pain in the ass. (side note: the screaming Willem Defoe sperm in the sidebar for podtoid has been cracking me up all week.)
It added some useful things such as manually entering sleep mode not disabling downloads(one of the annoying quirks), % bar for installs, no limit for near updates among others. Had no idea that it was bugged so I hope that continues until they fix it. Didn't even know ad hoc party worked on the Vita, will have to look into it. If so that's really exciting as I've been wanting to play Monster Hunter online.
It also fixed the Playstation Plus minis issue which has been a problem since launch. So this one in particular wasn't just a drm update.
I think this is the second update for the vita since its US launch, the first one being a day one update. Please for the love of god let Dale or someone else cover these types of stories. Your bias is uninformed and unnessecary, not to mention annoying as hell.
The firmware makes a feature no one uses and hardly anyone even knows about not work? And they are going to fix it in an expedited manner? ZOMG the horrorz!

I don't give a fuck about Playstation updates. Jim wont shut the fuck up about them, but they don't bother me. They don't take anywhere near as long as everyone tries to pretend they do, and if you actually bothered to use your systems semi-regularly, you don't have an update "every time you use it". Some of them bring features, which is good. Others fix security issues and help fight the type of rampant piracy that kept developers away from the PSP, which is also good.
But when they break shit? That's a problem. I get that they're trying to rush to fix security vulnerabilities before they're exploited, but you gotta test this shit properly before you distribute it. These things happen, but I feel like they happen too often with Microsoft and Sony. Too many bricked 360's from NXE back in the day as well.

Obviously DRM only hurts legitimate buyers, not pirates and general miscreants.
I don't know how these companies get all this money when they show they're about as smart as a 13-year old.
