Next Firmware Update to introduce Facebook and coloured Gamercards
Going by a rumour-turned-real post on ScrawlFX, it appears some new (and, unfortunately, essentially useless) alterations are soon to be made to the PlayStation 3’s XMB in the next firmware update.
For example, you’ll be able to manage your Facebook profile through your PlayStation Network account. You’ll be able to change the colour of your gamercard to suit your mood. You’ll even be able to view your photo collection in a more efficient way.
Ok, so it’s not much to get excited about it. If we’re honest, we’d be very surprised if the community was requesting things like Facebook integration and gamercard colour palettes over more practical functions like cross-game chat. Still, it’s a step in the right direction… right?

No!!!! I dont care about facebook!
CROSS-GAME Chat NOW!!!!!! : (
Would rather have Twitter integration to be honest!
howabout skype??? that would actually be useful. videochat on a big screen TV. not loke it would be that difficult to incorporate USB webcam support, or even the PS eye thing
facebook?aargh!
This is 100% fake…
Facebook is so last year, and useless in a ps3 context.
@ TS:
We’ll see, shall we?
