Yesterday, some screenshots were apparently posted on Sony's PlayStation site that showed a Facebook logo within the PS3's Xmedia bar. The leaked images have since been pulled (of course) but they indicated the ability to manage your Facebook in your PlayStation Network account settings, change the color of your PlayStation Network gamercard and view photos in new ways.
Eurogamer's "inside source" confirmed that Facebook integration is on the way for the PS3, and the official Sony Public Relations response is that there will be more information on this "very shortly." So it's looking very, very likely that you'll be able to enjoy live updates on your friends Farmville status on your PlayStation 3 very soon. But do you actually care?
Personally, I'm not feeling it. With Facebook integration looking like a done-deal for the PS3 and already confirmed for the 360, I find myself saying "meh." It will be some other thing on my dashboard that I look at once, and never check again. But I'm kind of a misanthrope who prefers to generally be left alone. (Except on twitter! Follow my twitter feed here!).
What about you?

This is someonwhat pointless, because you can already access facebook through the internet browser. So, unless it brings some sort of intergation where you can merge you PSN friends with your facebook friends I see no need for it. Of course, you can't ever complain about new free features. I'm sure it will come in handy a couple of times even if not much.

Oh sorry, I forgot. There's nothing worth playing on the PS3 so you may as well use your system to slowly navigate the interwebs.

If Sony hopes to continue adding new features like this to the PS3 they should really think about either scrapping the XMB or making the new features separate applications like Home or Life With Playstaiton that you launch from the XMB..
If you have ever used PlayOn on the PS3 you will know that content heavy sites with lots of different content tucked under lots of different sections can quickly become a pain to navigate. At from the picture it looks like it's doing just that.

Steal? Psssh. PS3 has the INTERNET. We've had everything XBL is getting for ages.
I myself could care less. We've always had it available. Never bothered with it before because my PC does it better, and I don't see that changing....

What other ideas will PSN steal from LIVE?
At least I can play MW2 online!
