By all accounts, social networking is a necessity for making your console an it-can-do-everything device. Microsoft has brought Facebook, among other Web sites, directly to Xbox 360, and it's looking like Sony is about to do the same for PlayStation 3.
ScrawlFX stumbled across what look to be legit pictures of an embedded Facebook application, which are hosted on the official UK PlayStation site here and here. Also, there's even a shot of a PlayStation Network ID card with editable colors located here.
Changing the numbers in those URLs will allow you to see those same pictures in multiple languages. What does it mean? Facebook for everyone (probably)!

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

FArmville on the PS3, no wais!
The day we get Twitter is the day I lose faith in the gaming industry.
The day we get Twitter is the day I lose faith in the gaming industry. Why doesn't Sony just give us that browser that let's us zoom into microscopic levels already?
The integrated destructoid app is what we really want!
I have all systems btw. They're all good. Sony just needs to step up their advertising. They've been doing better.
on my game consoles I
didn't need didn't want and won't use.
When are we getting dedicated Habbo, Zwinky, and Maple Story apps for the consoles so we never have to turn our PCs on again?
...yay. Seriously, I don't care Sony. None of us do. That's what I have a computer for. But hey, more power to you.
I think Destructoid has got their wires crossed.
The pictures image is shown under the photos tab which implies to me this is just a more dynamic way of browsing images in folders (to fit in line with the 'What's New' and 'PSN store' sections.
I don't think any of these images actually show the inside of the facebook app.
I have to ask though... With Netflix and Facebook now/coming to PS3... will Microsoft drop the Gold requirement for its services?
Simple way to answer that question about paying for gold.
Do Microsoft still like money? I don't think you'll be getting free Gold anytime soon.
Yes. Hulu app now, please.
Anyways, at this rate, game consoles should be called media hubs or something; it's not just games anymore, it's freaking music, photos, videos, internet, movies, and probably more to come!
(and people can already use the PS3 browser if they would rather be using facebook instead of actually playing games!)
Chillax, Xbot. Gayjor Nelson and his banhammer will always be yours and noone else's.
