Facebook Comes to Sony Playstation 3

The dominance of Facebook as one of the world’s most popular social networking sites seems to have gone that little bit further today with rumours abound that Playstation users will be able to access the site from their console. PS3 users can already utilise some of what Facebook has to offer with the existing internet browser already on the console. However, the latest development, a result of an image leak on the official Sony PS3 website of a Facebook icon within the Playstation’s XMB has opened the floodgates to the belief that FB will be coming to the PS3.

If this is the case, it means that Sony have struck up yet another interesting partnership with a major internet service. Only a few months ago, PS3 owners were given BBC iPlayer icon on the XMB and now it seems that Facebook is going to be latest addition to the Playstation’s already impressive online repertoire. Facebook is already available to Xbox 360 users making it a must have for the Sony group as they hope to enhance the user experience. With on demand television already on the PS3 and apparently a HD movie download service available soon; it seems that the battle of the consoles is now less about gaming and more about which online services can be provided to the consumer.
