The Times reported yesterday that the Facebook logo was shown on the new Sony Playstation 3 menu interface sparking rumors that these two giants were to team up to offer a new online experience. It is believed that players can update statuses and may be able to 'poke' friends whilst playing games, encouraging challengers to battle on the console.
This news comes after Microsoft declared Facebook would be available to use through their XBox 360 games console. Whilst Sony have so far declined to comment, a spokesman is expected to make an announcement about Facebook integration "shortly".

"A Facebook app would be handy, though a constant stream of status updates from heavy players might lead to mutings by less gaming-orientated friends... But it would be ridiculous to think that a all-in-one entertainment device like the PS3 wouldn't have Facebook on it eventually."
Sony is expected to roll-out its film and TV rental service, the PlayStation Network Delivery Service, in the next few weeks. The service will enable PS3 users to stream movies to their console or buy films to watch on their television or transfer to their PSP hand-held gaming device.
