Hi everyone, once again we’re adding new features to the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system via firmware update to ensure we’re bringing you the best, most comprehensive entertainment experience possible. PS3 system software update (v3.40) will be available soon, adding the PlayStation Plus subscription, enhancements to the connection between your PlayStation Network and Facebook accounts and more. Additionally, we’ll be launching system software update (v6.30) for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system simultaneously with PS3 system software update (v3.40), adding PlayStation Plus compatibility as well as other new features.
We’ve gone ahead and provided a few highlights from PS3 firmware update (v3.40) below:

PlayStation Plus: PlayStation Network users will be able to purchase membership to PlayStation Plus; a new subscription service on the PlayStation Network that provides you with new options to expand and enhance your gaming experience and enable you to gain an exclusive set of features and content. Friendly reminder, all of you PlayStation Network users will continue to have free access to PlayStation Network’s unmatched and expanding suite of new and exclusive features while PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to an exclusive and expanding set of gaming features, content and functionality.

Photo Gallery: A new network based photo sharing feature is now available on the Photo Gallery. The enhancement allows you to upload, browse and comment on photos on Facebook and Picasa Web Album. You can also opt to share your photos between your PlayStation Network friends as well as print photos from Photo Gallery.

Video Editor & Uploader: Video Editor and Uploader is a new function found on the XrossMediaBar (XMB), which enables you to edit, save and upload video files stored on the PS3 system to sites such as Facebook or YouTube.

Five Star Rating Support: Users can rate the PlayStation Store content they have purchased with one to five star ratings.

Power Save Settings: The default setting for PS3 System Auto-Off will be set at 2 hours, providing you with additional power save options and further improving power save features on the PS3 system.

In addition to the latest features introduced in PS3 system software update (v3.40), a separate, new PlayStation Network application on Facebook.com will be made available. This builds upon what was previously launched with Trophies and the ability to publish purchases from the PlayStation Store. Now you can further integrate your PlayStation Network and Facebook accounts with this new application. The application allows you to display your PlayStation Network profile on your Facebook account, find out which of your Facebook friends have a PSN account and send them a PlayStation Network friend request, view your PSN friends’ online status and add the PlayStation Network application tab to your Facebook user profile.

It looks pretty cool.

It shows your trophy level beside your name now on the friends list... Uh oh...

At least I can easily tell I have more trophies than Alec, and Doopz. (The only 2 friends online with a lower level than me...)

The video editor seems fun. Haven't been able to use it, since the videos I have currently are from before the update...

Ok, I admit it, I'm only a level 5 on trophies.

And how come you can only edit videos uploaded to your PS3 after this update? That's the stupidest thing EVER.

Hm, video uploader...

Does LBP2 have confirmation of being able to record videos? It better allow you to! That would be PERFECT.

Its not quite that simple, you can have more trophies than somebody but be at a lower level then they are.

Eg I'm Lv13(50%) with 1079 trophies (18 P 78 G 201 S 782 B)
I have a friend on Lv12(79%) with 1131 trophies (5 P 25 G 177 S 924 B)

I have a video on my PS3 I could put on youtube... LETS TEST THIS THING!

EDIT - Apparently to use the video editor the videos had to have been uploaded to the system after the 3.4 patch was installed. So i'll have to work around it a little...

I'm really liking the 5-star rating system on the store. It'll take a month or two to get more accurate ratings, but it's going to be very helpful as time goes by.. 2010-06-30 21:03:00

Simple as copying all your videos to a flashdrive and back to your PS3 m8, not much of a problem there.

Kind of annoying when you have 20-30 GB of videos though.
