Facebook on the Playstation 3
Whoever wants to use Facebook with the PS3, must be content with an extremely stripped-down version. This is probably the reason why the Facebook connection is hidden in a submenu. Here's how:
1. Select the menu item called "Playstation Network" and in it the "Account Management".
2. In the last item you will find the option of having your Facebook account with the Playstation account to connect to. Choose the Facebook icon.
3. Select one of the next three menu items, and set it to On.
4. Now enter your Facebook-a bank account. If you want to activate the other two options as well, you do not even have to type in the account.
All you have three options:
Make available information on trophies: It appears all the trophies that you have cleared away in games, is displayed as a message on your Facebook page, each with a picture. This data will be sent without further demand.
Making information available purchase: When you turn on this option, you will be asked for every purchase and / or download if you want to pass the info on Facebook.
Game-event information, make available to others: With this option the information about your game events will be shown on Facebook. This works only with games that are programmed for that. What those are, or when they will be available is not yet known.
