PS3 System Update 3.50 Brings 3D Blu-ray Playback, Better Facebook Integration

Posted September 21, 2010 by James Brightman

For all five of you who actually own 3D TVs and active shutter glasses, Sony has just updated the system software for the PS3 to version 3.50, which finally enables the promised 3D Blu-ray movie playback. 

The update also brings with it two other notable improvements:

  • Facebook Integration: Developers will be able to create PS3 games that have more interaction with Facebook. Once compatible PS3 titles are available, PS3 users can choose to access public information on Facebook – including user name, profile, uploaded photos and friends list – to enhance their gameplay experience.
  • Grief Reporting Function: Users can send claim reports directly from the XMB for any inappropriate messages they receive from other PlayStation Network users. This feature is accessible from the option menu of the messages list in the FRIENDS category.
