Facebook appears to be coming to PS3 it seems after leaked images of a facebook account settings panel in the PSN appeared fuelling speculation that it could be rolled out in a future firmware update.

It seems likely, after the inclusion of the popular social network platform appearing on the 360, that a Facebook application will be available for Playstation 3 users. We’d expect Playstation 3 owners will be able to do all they can on Facebook with a PC without having to go to their computers, along with a few more goodies.  You will also be able to change the color of your gamercard, which will give your gamercard kind of a personal feel, update your status to show which games you’re playing and there will also be a photo viewer. 

Of course Facebook is technically already available on the PS3 via the integrated browser software, however the integration of the service into the XMB (Xross Media Bar) would certainly be a welcomed addition.
