Rumor: New PS3 Firmware Update to Bring Facebook Integration?

Tweet

It looks like the old saying “no day without some PS3 news” confirms. After hearing yesterday that the Netflix streaming is official, today we laid our eyes on a set of screenshots that hint to some sort of Facebook integration that would allow you to manage your account straight from your console.

Available on Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s website, the extremely low resolution screenshots brought hope that an upcoming PS3 firmware update would allow you to interact with friends or play on Facebook. On top of that it looks like we’ll be able to change “gamer card” colors and there’s a new method for photo organization with thumbnails and a grid layout.

Although the images are no longer available on the company’s official website (it’s understandable), we can only hope that there are higher than average chances for these rumors to actually confirm, which would be totally-uber-super-mega cool. Don’t you think?

Contacted by the folks from Joystiq, Sony has said that they don’t “comment on rumor or speculation.”
