Heads up to all PlayStation 3 owners! Sony has just revealed some more details about the upcoming PS3 firmware update version 3.10 which is scheduled to arrive “soon”. The latest update will incorporate Facebook functionality into the console. According to PlayStation Network director of operations, Eric Lempel:
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 PS3Â’s built-in web browser.
But wait, there’s more! According to Lempel, this is just the beginning of Facebook integration into the PS3. You can look forward for new features in the future updates. Other highlights in the update includes:
- 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.
But unfortunately, it seems like the most anticipated cross-game chat feature is still nowhere to be found.
