PSA: 3DS firmware update goes live, upgrades camera

[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/dsupdate.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/psa-3ds-firmware-update-goes-live-upgrades-camera/)	Nintendo's 3DS update had been dragging its feet, but it's got its act together, sneaking out to devices a day earlier than [expected](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/29/3ds-system-update-pushed-back-to-december-8th-nintendo-confirms/). It will add both 3D video-recording and DLC capabilities to the handheld, although there's been no confirmation yet of the Hulu Plus feature promised [back in October](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/hulu-plus-coming-to-3ds-and-wii-handheld-getting-3d-video-captu/). According to *Joystiq*, there's now a new Nintendo Zone to interact with when connected to certain WiFi hotspots and a host of new "accomplishments" to unlock on StreetPass. Users are reporting that the update is rolling out now -- it may be worth booting up that guilty Black Friday [purchase](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/nintendo-gives-thanks-to-gamers-with-special-edition-zelda-3ds-b/) for a look-see.
