Sony planning paid PSN subscriptions for 2010

- From GameStop:

"Slides accompanying a Thursday presentation by Sony show that the company is planning a "new revenue stream from subscription" on PSN in 2010. During the presentation, which emphasized Sony's plans to make its game business profitable in the next fiscal year, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai confirmed the plans. "We will be building upon our current free [PSN] service offering with premium content and services to start the subscription model," he told attendees.
Perhaps to assuage PS3 owners' fears that they would soon have to pay to play online, Hirai issued a subsequent statement indicating the present level of service would remain gratis."

- Firmware Update v3.10 allows PS3 players to post events to their Facebook wall, including Trophies won in-game, PSN purchases, and game events.
- If you enable the option on your console you will be prompted to approve each potential message first.
- Also included, unrelated to Facebook, are enhanced Photos and Friends List designs.
- There is also an error reporting mechanism which pops up after console freezes/crashes.
