PlayStation Network down, so are lots of PS3s

It’s unclear exactly what’s going on at the moment, but it appears that the PlayStation Network is down and causing a whole host of related problems for PS3 systems, including 8001050F error codes, game crashes, corrupted trophy info, and even the complete inability to launch certain titles. There’s no ETA on when things will get back to normal — looks like it’s gonna be a Blu-ray kind of evening for PS3 owners out there.

Microsoft launched the Xbox 360’s integration with Facebook today, bringing social networking experiences into the living room.

And Sony announced PS 3 support for Facebook yesterday. That means you can broadcast your Trophy information and PlayStation Network Store purchases on Facebook as well. You can also use the PS 3’s browser to check out your friends’ updates on the TV screen.

The whole idea is that games are more fun when you can play with your friends and share your achievements in games with them. But so far, it hasn’t been that easy to find friends on the game online networks.
