Facebook: Coming to a PS3 Near You …

Nov18

Facebook is coming to a PS3 near you as part of the latest 3.10 update. Sony has been vague about exactly when the update would land. Turns out it was sooner than most people probably guessed, coming only a day after the November 17 release of Facebook’s integration with the Xbox 360.

Here are some of the features listed on the press release Sony just issued about the update:

Showcase Trophies: Instantly share trophies you earn in PS3 games in your Facebook stream. Simply sync your PS3 system and easily show off your accomplishments to friends and family.

PlayStation Store Purchase Log Publishing: Let friends and family on Facebook instantly know which PlayStation 3 games you’ve purchased. The PlayStation Store, available to PS3 and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system owners through PlayStation Network, features over 200 downloadable games, many of which are exclusive to PS3 or PSP system owners, in addition to over 4,000 pieces of add-on game content.

Game Event: With a few quick clicks of the controller sharing select game events, progress and statistics is now easier than ever with the Facebook integration.

Why am I all of a sudden seeing a whole bunch of Madden or NBA Live or C.O.D bragging rights in my Facebook Newsfeed??? Ugh! Guys …

Easy Ways to Stash Some Dough: Save $250 in 30 Days

Found this great money saving article from Cosmopolitan.com … These are some great ideas to save money on habits that we forget about.  Since the season of gift giving is coming up, saving money NOW will definitely pay off later. Are you wasting money that you shouldn’t be?  Check out the tips below.

Save $14: Take a “vacation” from Netflix, and borrow DVDs from pals for nada. Netflix lets you pause your subscription for up to 90 days.

Save $21 to $31: Lots of brand-name birth-control pills have generic versions that are way cheaper. Ask your gyno if your designer Rx has a generic twin. In general, generic brands are cheaper and perform the same as the brand name version.

Save $40: Drinking dinner? Bad idea. Getting a free meal while you drink? Awesome. Many bars now serve apps on the house to lure in crowds. Deals vary from a pizza with every beer at Crocodile Lounge in New York City to free quesadillas at any Blue Mesa Grill in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Save $15 to $20: Little-known fact: The price of your cut includes a fee for drying. So if you ask to leave it wet, your stylist will usually bump down the cost.

Save $10: Unlock your iTunes library—go to preferences and click share—and have friends and coworkers do the same. With so much music at your fingertips, you’re less likely to buy a so-so CD.

Save $5 to $10: At the supermarket, skip things like sliced veggies and precut fruit, and opt for unpackaged produce. DIY slicing and dicing takes a bit more time, but you’ll save a ton.
