"Face"-ing Up To PS3

Here's some news that we (the producers of three supremely awesome Facebook games) are quite giddy about the possibility of: murmurs in the video game blog-o-sphere seem to be speculating that the PS3 system may soon become Facebook-enabled.

Though the snapshots have been pulled down since leaking, Sony UK PR has responded to the snafu by saying that official news on the subject will be arriving "very shortly".

So basically, it seems like the company was giving the images a test run on their web building software and accidentally uploaded the content. Pretty good accident, we think, as it has garnered some unintended publicity for the forthcoming announcement and subsequently given a little heat to XBox 360, who have already officially demoed both Facebook and Twitter for their console.

Clever dealings Sony, clever indeed. You can read a bit more here: GameSpy
