Facebook for Playstation Available This Week [PS3 Firmware 3.10 to Offer PS3 Facebook Integration, Update Due Thursday]

We knew it was coming but it looks like the much reported Playstation Facebook integration is set to become available as soon as this week as the new PS3 firmware update (specifically the 3.10 firmware update) is made available.

Scheduled to become available from this Thursday, the new PS3 3.10 firmware update has now been officially confirmed by Sony as including Facebook integration with the official PS3 blog stating:

“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.”

Along with offering PS3 Facebook integration the new 3.10 firmware update is billed as also offering a revamped photo category on the XMB making it ‘easier for you to see more of your photos’ as well as a revised PSN Friends List.
