Firmware 3.10 Coming Soon with Facebook

Firmware 3.10 Coming Soon with Facebook


Hi everyone, here’s an early peek at PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.10). The latest update incorporates Facebook into the PS3 experience. By linking your PlayStation Network account to your Facebook account, you will have the option for the PS3 to automatically update your Facebook News Feed with Trophy and PlayStation Store activity. This update also enables developers to set specific criteria in their titles to publish additional game information to your News Feed. You can then check out your updates, and those of your friends, on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media favorites through the PS3’s built-in web browser.
This is just the beginning of our integration with Facebook and we are looking forward to adding new features enhancing the experience in future updates.
Additional highlights from update 3.10 include:
The Photo category on the XMB has been revamped to make it easier to see more of your photos stored on the PS3.
The PSN Friends List has been modified based on feedback we received after update 3.00. Additionally, you can now choose a color for your PSN ID on the XMB.

I'm just going to say this. I'm looking forward to this update.
The photos improvements (finally!) and the trophy updates on my Facebook page (always wanted that, I could do it with Xbox 360 achievements).

Looking forward to it

Really trying not to be a fanboy here, but I kinda like Sony's idea better than Microsoft's.

Microsoft is implementing Facebook (and Twitter) on the Xbox 360 ... as though the 360 can be a desktop replacement. They ask the question "Facebook and Twitter? Why need a desktop? Why leave the Xbox 360 ... sit your *** back down ..."

Sony is taking more of a "how do we implement Facebook, so that it's still related to PS3 gaming?".

I wonder if Sony's going to support Twitter as well. I don't really care, I'm just wondering (I'm only with Facebook). Because you know, Uncharted 2 chose to support Twitter over Facebook ...

@wutang: you make me laugh man:) anyway, i thought facebook and twitter on the 360 were basically doing the same jist, updating to the respected area to keep friends updated with whats going on?

Why do they work so hard on making features for the outside of PlayStation Network area? Updates etc. would be better off funnelled into more of a proper PSN profile page/feed. I don't wanna spam my Facebook with PS3 updates
