Sony today released the much-awaited PS3 software update v3.50 that adds 3D playback support, Facebook integration and improved PlayStation Network. The new features in v3.50 update include:

  • Blu-ray 3D Disc Playback: As promised, Sony has added support for Blu-ray 3D playback. For 3D playback you will need TV supporting 3D video, HDMI 1.4 cable to connect PS3 to TV, 3D glasses and updated PS3.
  • 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.

PS3 software update v3.50 is available now on PlayStation’s website.
