174Playstation 3 and PS Vita new surprise firmware updates do more harm than good. Sony removes key PS3 and Playstation Vita features. This should come as no surprise, considering the PS3/PSP/PS Vita stores were set to close this Summer before they changed that after the internet backlash.

From May 11th, 2022 content cannot be transferred from PS3 consoles to PS Vita systems. Content can still be downloaded directly to PS3 consoles or PS Vita systems or it can be transferred using a PC.

Most of this info is directly from Playstation. Other info was provided by myself and other gamers. I hope this helps. As of 5/12, I still haven't updated any of Vita's yet. I already had 2FA enabled on Vita prior to the update. Sadly, I no longer own a PS3 (lightning destroyed it a few years ago).
