From today we bring you a new way of interacting with content on eu.playstation.com with the facebook Like widget.

Through the exhaustive catalogue of games available on playstation.com you can start showing your friends your gaming tastes, from your old favourite arcade game to the latest hits coming to PlayStation 3. By clicking on the Like button, you will be prompted to login to Facebook. Once you’re logged in, just click on the Like button and then that game will appear on your facebook wall.

On news content on eu.playstation.com, you will find the facebook Recommend button that let you share your favourite articles in the same way that the Like button let you share your favourite games. You can also leave a comment that will appear on your wall every time you click Like and Recommend.

Finally, you’ll notice that the home page of eu.playstation.com has been redesigned to help you find the latest and most popular content. The facebook panel will also show you what the other facebook users have shared on the site. If you’re not already a fan of Sony PlayStation on facebook, you can become one now by clicking on the “Become a Fan” button.

We’re hoping to roll out similar functionality on the PlayStation Blog later this week.

If you had the power of X-ray vision what would you look at first…?

Welcome to the world of Superpower Friends, the new Facebook application from PlayStation Comics!

Here’s how the app works…
The app generates questions about how you would feel or what would happen if your Facebook friends suddenly gained the abilities of some of your favourite comic book characters, from Wolverine and Captain America, to Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse.

The app randomly selects one of your Facebook friends and then generates a question based on a comic character’s ability. The questions will fuel some witty responses, which you can post to their walls… or you can simply move to the next question. You will have the option to change your friend and generate your own customised question, if you wish.

Gain Coins!
Every time you answer a question you are rewarded with a coin, which can be used to unlock additional features within the app.

Spending those coins…

1. After gaining ten coins, the app will enable you to unlock a screen which displays every answer about you that your friends have completed.
2. After gaining five coins, you will be able to send a superpower gift to a friend.

Visit www.superpowerfriends.com and start playing now!

Hi Guys, just wanted to give you some more detail on the main features of firmware 3.10 for your PS3. Hopefully you will have seen the American video previously posted that demos some of these features. If not check it out here.

As shown in the video and the screenshots below, the Photo view on the XMB has been improved. Your photos are now shown in a grid format rather than in one line to make it easier for you to skip straight to the photo you want or browse an album quickly.

We’ve added some links to the worlds most popular social network site, Facebook.

If you want to show your friends what trophies you’ve earned or brag about your gaming prowess, simply go to account management, under PSN, and turn this option on to share your triumphs with your friends

You can also share information about your PSN Store purchases if you want. Turn this on the same way and you will be asked each time you purchase from the store if you want to share it on Facebook or not. Let all your friends know what you’re playing and get them to join you online.

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.
