Sony makes PSP and PS3 worse

Owners of a PS3 and PS Vita can hardly trust their eyes at the moment, because Sony actually donates an update to the two old consoles. The patch brings the PS Vita to the firmware version 3.74, the PS3 on version 4.89 .

One reason for joy for the users of the retro consoles, right? Not really. Because if you take a look at the official changelogs of the two updates, you will find that Sony will cut an online function in this way **: Creating PSN accounts directly via the consoles (source: PS Vita update Changelog / PS3 Update Changelog).

If you want to create a new PSN profile after the update, you have to go through the browser for better or bad. In addition, some account management settings are no longer available directly via the two consoles.
