I am totally looking forward to this feature, just so I can get back at all of the people I know who were constantly spamming me with Mafia Wars and Farmville updates before I blocked those apps.

This is actually an excellent idea.

"Soon". Which to me means this Thursday when they do all the normal updates and software releases on PSN.

Looks like Sony made a liar out of me. It's been revealed that the update is coming today.

Mine went fine. Don't do Facebook at all so this update didn't really add much for me other then the friends thing.

I set my Facebook stuff up. For some reason, it posted something on my Facebook about flOw...which I haven't touched in a very, very long time. And that was all it posted. Hmmm...

I've just noticed a bug with this firmware. Seems it breaks functionality for Nyko Frontman wireless guitars. Mine stopped working right after the update. It just glows solid red and won't connect with my PS3. The LED usually glows blue. Seems at least a couple of people on the official Playstation forums are having the same problem.

So yah, I can't play RockBand anymore. Lovely. What a week it's been.

Leave it to Sony to tie advertisements into this. Come on, posting PSN store purchases?



Not true.

This is all about advertisement. Sony and MS want you to broadcast what games you are playing. Right now, you purposely have to follow either company in order to see what they are advertising. With this change, they can penetrate into all of your friends accounts whenever you have an in-game status update.
