Sony has restricted more functions to PlayStation Plus subscribers only with the latest update.

The latest firmware update offers automatic Trophy synching and the ability to transfer saves to the automatically but these features will only be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers.

This would seem to be a more concerted move by to encourage PS3 owners to pay the PS Plus subscription in order to access more than just additional downloadable content.

The firmware update also adds improved streaming support, a new content recommendation system for the PlayStation Store and support for Java content on blu-ray discs and 3D photographs.

Thanks MCV.
