All the recent news about leaked images of Sony PS3 integrating Facebook is legit. Sony has officially announced that the upcoming PS3 firmware 3.10 update will bring  Facebook integration to PlayStation 3′s XMB interface. The update will allow linking user’s Facebook account to their PlayStation Network account. Although it had already been possible to access social networks through the console’s Internet browser, the latest changes let users share their gaming achievements automatically as Facebook updates.

Eric Lempel, PlayStation Network Operations director, in blog post at official PlayStation Blog, stated that Facebook integration is just the beginning and Sony looks forward to add new features that enhance user experiences in future updates.

Let’s hope that the Trophy and PlayStation Store activity updates don’t annoy your fellow Facebook friends and users. For this feature, it’s Facebook that’ll have to make efforts to provide hiccup free News Feed. Apart from that, the revamped Photo category will allow easier view of photos stored. Users would be able to choose colors for their PlayStation Network ID on the XMB. Also, the PSN Friends list has been changed. Expect the new PlayStation 3.10 firmware update later this week.

Facebook On Sony PS3 Soon

November 13, 2009

No wonder Sony is expected to allow its users access Facebook through its Playstation 3 soon if Microsoft can do it.

If recent news of screen shot leaks are to be taken into account, all you die hard fans of PS3 can soon expect more punch from your console.

According to source, the rumour emerged after photos purporting to show an updated PS3 interface were leaked on the web. The images showed a Facebook logo in the PlayStation’s menu system, leading to speculation that Sony might have teamed up with the social-networking site to enable users to update their status or ‘poke’ friends as they play games or watch movies.

The screenshots of the new-look interface also showed an improved browser, and a tool that allows users to change the appearance of their PlayStation Network profile images.

While on the other side of the news, Sony is expected to comment and maybe confirm on this new development shortly.
