Facebook coming to PS3?
Could these be the new PS3 dashboard?
(Credit: Joystiq)Do you like the idea of checking status updates on a 50-inch LCD in the middle of Uncharted 2 sessions? Social media addicts, the next PS3 update just might be for you. Hidden photos on Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Web site, that have since been taken down, point to a definitive and familiar blue logo showing up on Sony's PlayStation 3 dashboard. Whether or not this also means Twitter will be getting on the Black Box of Blu-ray is uncertain, but hopefully likely.
Sony is reported to have no comment, so we'll see what becomes of this. Honestly, we don't use much Facebook or Twitter on our Xbox 360, but here's a software update we'd like to see the PS3 add very soon.

He also appears on the Digital City podcast. In his spare time, you might see him performing improv in New York City (when he's not being a dad). 
but yeah, apologies accepted.
anyways, whats wrong with using the ps3 browser for facebook?
Needless to say, you dont really have to use it.....
So what's the point? If your new wife (assuming you have or will find one...) likes Facebook ...don't punish her with your bias from your ex. Your new wife will have all new issues and baggage for you to deal with. They deserve to be taken on their own merit and not be seen through the filter of your old wife...Ok advice done. Sorry about that.
[rhetorical question]
An unrelated question to other console owners - I leave a USB keyboard plugged in most the time for use on the browser - anyone also use the browser much? I see a lot of people completely dismissing it and saying things like 'buy a PC', but just honestly there have been several times when my nine year old son has asked me questions involving things like World War II, Chernobyl, and other historical events while we are sitting around in the living room. When you are sitting there with a good sized HD TV right in front of you to pull up information, photos, and videos then I find it a lot easier and more effective then going off to huddle around the PC.

- All the complaining about xmb vs dashboard ignores the simple fact that nobody makes a 50" LCD, nobody.

(25 Comments)ummmmm what are you talking about? I don't understand your point for a couple of reasons:
1. Firstly, yes companies do make 50" LCD TV's. Personally I went with a 50" plasma, but the option is there for the LCD if you want it as well.
2. Even if you were right about there being no 50" LCD's, what does that have to do with anything?
Or do I have you totally wrong and you are talking about dedicated LCD computer monitors? Even if you were I still don't understand what that has to do with the XMB comment.
