PlayStation 3 firmware (v3.10) coming soon

Sony will ‘soon’ release firmware update (v3.10) for the PlayStation 3. As recently speculated, the next firmware update will include Facebook integration, a revamped photo section, and a change to the PlayStation Network Friends List.

With the new firmware, you’ll have the option to link your PSN account directly to your Facebook account. You will have the option for your PS3 to automatically update your Facebook News Feed with Trophy and PlayStation Store activity. Sony also says that this new integration enables developers to publish game information to your News Feed. If constant PSN updates to your Facebook account don’t sound too appealing, you’ll have the option to turn this feature off.

The firmware update will also change the Photo category on the XMB, essentially making it easier to see more of your photos. Back when Sony released firmware update 3.00, many owners complained about the PSN Friends List. Sony has responded to this feedback by modifying the Friends List, and allowing you to choose a color for you PSN ID on the XMB.

The update is coming soon, but we don’t have an official release date. Check out this video preview below.
