PS3 Firmware Update 3.10 Adds Facebook Support

ps3_feature_ssu

Sony recently released the 3.10 firmware update for the Playstation 3 (PS3), which adds several interesting new features. It also is the foundation for the Playstation embracing social media services, beginning with Facebook. Many of you may be disappointed to learn there isn’t the full Facebook experience, but Sony has done well by binding your Playstation Network account to Facebook. Any trophies you earn, Playstation Store purchases you buy, or in-game achievements you experience will be published on your Facebook profile. You can specify which of those you wish to have noted on your Facebook as well.

Here is a video from the Playstation Blog demonstrating these new features:

    PS3 has taken the first step towards facebook integration, people complaining don't understand that its a first step…

    Although it is quite terrible… its a step in the right direction and will eventually improve and be an excellent additional feature to the PS3 but for now PS3 users have to put up with out of sync essays about trophies… ]

    TO EVOLUTION!

    Additionally, some countries -like The Netherlands- (finally) received the new TV menu with firmware 3.10, which enables to watch on tv recordings (like BBC iPlater in the UK) .

    Furthermore, the new firmware allows users to send error reports to Sony.
