Now that the PS3 has turned three years old, Sony has something big to celebrate with. Heads up, Sony has now confirmed that FW 3.10 will be going live today, after being announced only two days ago. Now that's fast. By tomorrow, your Facebook news feed will be jam-packed with download news and Trophy-whoring.

*UPDATE* It's now live.

Heads up to all PlayStation 3 owners! Sony has just revealed some more details about the upcoming PS3 firmware update version 3.10 which is scheduled to arrive "soon". The latest update will incorporate Facebook functionality into the console.

Heads up PlayStation 3 owners! The latest PS3 firmware update v3.01 is now available for download. According to Sony, this update improves system stability during use of some PlayStation 3 format software.

PS3 firmware 3.0, which carries a rather hefty set of additions and tweaks, is all set to go live on September 1. This is a major update, to say the least, and according to Sony's PSN operations director Eric Lempel, it's the last big firmware release we'll see this year. This doesn't necessarily mean that Sony won't roll out further updates this year after 3.0 hits, however. More from Lempel after the jump.

More details regarding PS3 Firmware 3.0 have surfaced courtesy of Sony's PSN operations director, Eric Lempel. No date yet, but here's a rundown of what you'll be getting when you update to this particular firmware version.

PSN Operations Director, Eric Lempel, has a lot of fighting words to say about the state of online service, the PlayStation Home. And it all boils down to this: there's no more fighting with Xbox Live. He also said something about their "competition" with Apple, saying that they don't necessarily want to go down the path of offering various software options, particularly for the PSP, because they don't want to degrade the experience. Read on after the jump.

In an interview with PC World, Sony Director of Network Operations, Eric Lempel, took the time to address questions on PS3 Updates, their Emmy award-winning XMB interface, and the rumors on the next firmware update. And of course, he did not forget to take a swipe at competitor Microsoft. Find out about the barb and more after the jump.

Sony earlier released a minor system update for the PS3. According to the official announcement by Eric Lempel, the PS3 update 2.80  will improve the playback quality of some PS3 format software. But it looks like the firmware update is not just to improve the quality of games as dashhacker have discovered. Apparently the new update blocks Open Remote Play, a homebrew program created by dashhacker that allows you to access the PS3's Remote Play feature from any laptop, desktop or mobile phone.

Yep, Sony has released a new firmware update for the PlayStation 3. Apparently, this update "improves the playback quality of some PS3 format software".

The PlayStation 3  2.70 Firmware Update is definitely coming! Not today, though, at least not now. Maybe in a couple of hours it'll land - you know how Sony is about dropping their FWs: announced, but always surprising. Anyhow, Eric Lempel took to the PS Blog to reveal to us a few nifty details about this latest firmware edition for the power console. First up: the new Text Chat feature. Sounds cool, eh? Looks cool, too. Preview video and other details after the jump. *UPDATE* Now live!
