Also worthy of note is a new Facebook application which allows you to connect with your PSN account and find friends that have a PSN account. Please note that this is not included in the firmware update and is an entirely separate entity.
For update 3, does it require you to have the recorded stuff or can you record aswell?
I can’t be sure, but from what time I’ve had to play around with it, you’ll be able to merge videos you’ve already got, kinda like Windows Movie Maker or what have you.
I lol’d at the last point on the list:
“The internal clock functionality that accounts for leap years has been improved.”

We in the EU don’t have it, I can’t be sure why but I think someone said about the EU having several languages meant that it was too much trouble to put here
