Downloaded and installed really fast. Where is the Facebook app?

i just got the 3.40 update this morning and i would like to know where this facebook app is also

It's not on the PS3 itself, it's an app they have launched on the Facebook website

Just downloaded, they fixed the leap year bug :rofl:

PlayStation Plus Compatibility

The PlayStation Plus premium service gives paying members free game downloads, access to special avatars and themes, and other bonuses. See this story for details. The 3.4 update makes your PS3 compatible with PS Plus. To actually become a PS Plus member, you'll need to purchase membership from the PlayStation Store. Members will see the PlayStation Plus icon, a yellow plus symbol, next to their avatar.

Photo Gallery Update

Your PS3 photo gallery will now have a "PlayStation Network Area." Use this to access your online Picassa and Facebook photo albums. You can also upload pictures directly to these services, create and edit albums, post comments on pictures, and share newly created albums with your PlayStation Network friends. To delete comments, you'll have to access the web versions of Facebook and Picassa directly.

Video Edit and Upload

The video section of your XMB will now have access to an option for editing and uploading videos from your hard disc to Facebook and Youtube. Edit functionality lets you ad subtitles and cut out scenes. The functionality will only work for videos that were saved to your PS3 following the 3.4 update. Expectedly, it will not work on copy protected videos.

Settings

The settings section of your XMB will now include options for "Deep Color Output (HDMI)" and, for PS Plus members, auto download. The base time for automatic power off will be changed to 2 hours.

Photo

The photo section of the XMB will now let you print and delete pictures.

Friend

When selecting a friend, the friend's trophy level will be displayed.

PS Store Ratings

You'll be able to rate product on the PlayStation Store with a five star rating system.

Time bug fix

The update fixes a leap year bug with the PS3's clock.

Also video uploading test

Uploaded a PS3 edited video on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfRxkp1GuHc

You can:

- Add text (see video for more)

- Cut A-B style (no paste, just cut)

- Add music (from a selected collection of tracks. Not your own)

- Change playback speed of A-B sections.

- Save to HDD or publish on youtube or facebook.

Videos downloaded from the Store do not work

Videos recorded from game (PJ Shooter) do not work

Videos exported from EyeCreate do not work (wtf?)

I did this with a mp4 file.

So much for fixing the leap year bug in March ;)

At least it's done now.

Not sure they ever said they 'fixed' it just that the problem would be 'resolved' the following day. As you say though, least it's done and dusted now!

Nah they did, I remember having a good chuckle at it here on NW :p

"We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3 units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year. Having the internal clock date change from February 29th to March 1st (both GMT), we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally. If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the internet."

They resolved it so that everyone's PS3 would work again in the meantime, however the internal fix was on a timebomb till the next leap year, so it's not like it was urgent :p

That's my point, they didn't resolve anything. They just said "we're working on it" while they waited for the clock to run out. The only thing that "fixed it" was the clock/calendar turning 12am/2nd March :laugh:

Then they were like "yeah, we fixed it, pat us on the back" :rofl:

Anyway water under the bridge n all that jazz.

LOL...I was just kidding. But, yes....I do need to upgrade to a PS3 Slim at some point here. Well, I don't NEED to, but I WANT to :)

well that was just like me and the 360S. But PS3 wise.. it's been running really well so far. I don't really see a point of upgrading.. sure it has a different size to it.. but it's still the same. The PS3S has no more gloss on it.. so owning both consoles won't really match up. Mine now matches up now :D

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
