The Facebook-adding PS3 update we told you about recently is available for download, should you wish to update your Sony-branded black box. More welcome than social media aspects is the much neater looking friends list, removing those unsightly grey blocks- replacing them with unsightly coloured blocks! Hooray!
Unfortunately, the much fabled, regularly rumoured, oft-requested cross-game chat – a staple of the competitor’s online service is still missing. Seems perhaps that unintended leak from Naughty Dog turned out to be just a wee bit false. As much as I’d like the feature to be implemented, I don’t see it getting much use – considering I’ve come across almost nobody on PSN with a headset.
The Playstation 3. It only does everything. Except Cross-game chat.
Let us know what features you’d like to see in the next firmware update for the PS3.

It’s not an application. It just allows trophy,game status and purchases it be automatically posted on your FB wall.
The PS3 has always had facebook support. It has a web browser… The web browser has been updated to allow for a better facebook experience.

Id like to see the return of backward compatibility really. Ill buy a PS3 now if they bring a addon like that out. I’ll even pay R200 for that addon alone!
