Sony is Planning Facebook and PS3 In-game Tie-in

[PS3 News]

Those who have dreamed of your Facebook profile automatically being updated when you gain a trophy on a PS3 game may soon get your wish.

Sony's John Davidson has indicated that they are already working on a PS3-Facebook integration system for games, to quote:

According to http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/08/mi6-ps3-to-facebook-integration-coming-quicker-than-some-may-t/, a panelist asked John Davidson from Sony whether there would ever be a time when someone could do something on a PS3 game and then could 'spit it out to Facebook'.

Davidson replied that such an idea is already in the works and is "critical not just for marketing but for the types of games we're trying to develop. That day is coming quicker than some may think."

this would be great for both the ps3 and facebook

I use faceBook everyday. This would be a killer feature for me!

the ps3 game console tho, not web browser..

Does anyone know if it will have full tie in features, or is it just to update trophy information? Would be cool if it worked as a small program and updated face book, not the biggest fan of the web browers on the ps3 yet, it works, but it's pretty inconvenient.

Status updates would be welcomed!
