As scheduled, PS3 firmware update 3.50 is starting to go live across the globe. Depending on your region, you should have access to the update which brings support for playback of Blu-ray 3D discs, as long as you are connected via HDMI to a TV that supports 3D viewing, of course.

Other features in the update included enhanced Facebook integration which gives developers the ability to  “create PS3 games that have more interaction with Facebook.” Once developers implement the new functionality into PS3 titles, users will be able to “choose to access public information on Facebook – including user name, profile, uploaded photos and friends list – to enhance their gameplay experience.”

There is also a new “Grief Reporting Function” that allows users to “send claim reports directly from the XMB for any inappropriate messages they receive from other PlayStation Network users.”
