ORIGINAL STORY:Sony has begun rolling out PlayStation Vita firmware update v1.66, a replacement for yesterday's quickly-pulled V1.65 release.
On the surface, nothing appears to have changed since yesterday's update. v1.66 simply appears to be a fully-working revision of the previous update, pulled hours after going live due to a "technical fault".
That granted users minor tweaks such as the ability to toggle all notification alerts off and improved the functionality of Near.
v1.66 is out in the wild for European users to download now.
