The internet is abuzz regarding apparent leaked images from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, leading many to wonder if Sony is planning for a firmware update that would include Facebook integration. The images, spotted by ScrawlFX, showed a Facebook icon in the XMB.
More rumors about this possible future firmware update include a new photo viewing option and greater gamecard customization. Largely, the new customization may include color changes. The leaked images were allegedly pulled from PlayStation.com in the UK. As you can imagine, the images have been removed.
Sony has a strict policy (like pretty much every company) of not commenting on rumors, but we’ve asked if PlayStation 3 owners can expect Facebook integration.
For now, this is just a rumor, but not completely unbelievable.
