PS3 Update 3.50 Released
Even though the PS3 will now have the ability to play Blu-ray discs with version 3.50, one must still own a 3D display in order to watch 3D movies on the system. This added feature means that we should see some new 3D games coming to the PS3 sometime soon.
Another feature that has been added with with the 3.50 update, is Facebook Integration. It will allow game makers to include social features in their new games, and the ability to post updates to Facebook. Could this possible help Sony take some business from social game companies like Zynga? It’s very possible.
Zynga has made a name for itself in the social gaming world. If Sony plays their cards right, they could make social based games like Zynga, for the PS3. Imagine playing Call of Duty online with more social aspects like that of Mafia War. Some people believe there would be no added benefit, while others are excited about this possibility.
On top of these 2 major changes, here is a list of some of the other PS3 Updates in version 3.50.
- A Better description of the 14 most common errors on the system.
- PS Move can be used as web browser cursor, like that of a mouse.
- Updated user interface for PlayStation Plus in PlayStation Store, to make it more easy to use.
- New Qriocity icon in the Music section. Currently only available in Europe.
- Users reports can be sent from PS3 through the ‘Friends’ tab.
- 3D notification screens appear for 3D enabled games.
With the 3.50 update, Sony continues to update their PS3 firmware when new technology is needed. What do you think about the new added features?
