Hi Guys,
I’m James and I’m really pleased today to finally be able to share with you more information on the Facebook functionality which will soon be available on your PlayStation 3.
Hope you enjoy the video and I’ll speak to you tomorrow morning to feedback on your comments.
- James
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 just want to clarify a comment I made to this post yesterday about Cross Game Voice Chat, which seems to have caused some confusion. I can’t confirm if or when Cross Game Voice Chat is coming, but as I said, when I do have some information to share with you, I’ll let you know.

besides being able to change the color of your box (which is quite insignificant too) not much worth mentioning, atleast not for me..

Thank you! I now have an iPlayer icon and a TV section on my Euro PS3, yey! It was worth it all just for that alone.

Profile colour is cool (thanks for getting rid of all the grey boxes). However as of updating to 3.10, no videos from the EU or US Blog’s work (it says this application is not supported, with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it). Do you guys at Sony know about this problem? If so any idea when this will be fixed? Any body else encountered this problem? Thanks, Heshmagray.

it’s not downloading. well it is but at a rate of about 1% evey 5 minutes. This is rediculous. why release an update that takes two hours fifteen minutes to download 50% (which you then loose because you have to go out and turn it off)?
All my other updates downloaded in ten mins or less but this is one stupid update. Can’t sign in until i’ve wasted four hours of electricity downloading the polish language to my system.

I don’t know why but Sony seems to have completely lost its way with the 3.x updates. It needs someone who knows what they are doing to take over from the buffoon currently trying to derail the crazy train. Each of the 3.x changes has made most of us like using the PS3 less and this one is no exception.
I don’t understand Sony’s logic: the feedback on the “ugly grey boxes” was pretty much universal hatred. So why, instead of removing them as we asked, make the situation worse by introducing a potential riot of colour over which the we have no control?
At the very least these “ugly rainbow boxes” should be entirely optional: we should be able to suppress them completely rather than restrict it to one. I don’t have a stupid theme or background for my XMB so I don’t want or need my friends to be boxed in garish colours.
Moreover (for the tiny minority that don’t find them completely worthless) we should be able control the colour(s) used in our friends list (rather than having to ensure our friend’s choices). Allowing us to colour code our friends list (and then order by colour) might be the only redeeming aspect in currently pointless “feature”.

When I sign into PSN I feel really, really lonely because it lacks the one, most requested feature of all… CROSS GAME CHAT.
I dont want to have to use Text Chat to talk to people because its useless, I might aswell not be playing my PS3 as you spend most of your time pausing the game to type a short message.
Xbox LIVE has had this feature since 2005. Why is it taking so long to put in onto PSN? If they are even trying that is.
I guess I can speak for everyone when I say… Please Bring CROSS GAME CHAT.
Can you please keep bugging them to bring it out as Im getting tired of not being able to play my favourite games and talk to someone properly at the same time. =(

Instead of useless firmware updates, how about an update for the Adobe Flash Player?
