I did search for PS3 Facebook and didn't find that thread.
This is then not new news on Facebook being removed but speculation that at the same time Sony does a PS3 OS rewrite to remove Facebook integration they will include the new features being enabled with the Vidipath and Playready port to the PS3.
It's 100% coming but when has always been a big question.
All Playstation Platforms to use Playready which points to a significant PS3 update November 2014
For the
PS3 a PDF on Passage was just released at the latest FCC DSTAC (Downloadable Security Technical Advisory Committee) meeting. Page 12 has a chart showing a PS3 being used as a Vidipath STB.
June 2015
Top path is RVU which the PS3 already supports.
Direct Attach End to End (center path) which is all IPTV direct from a cable modem . The future but Cable can't currently support more than a small percentage of their customers going all IPTV.
Sony is definitely supporting Vidipath, page 12 bottom path (Traditional Cable TV with the DLNA CVP2 FCC mandate where a DVR with tuners converts a RF channel to IPTV streams )
This was just presented to the FCC DSTAC (Downloadable Security to replace the cable card) where Vidipath was one of the proposals. Currently Vidipath uses WMDRM10 for DTCP-IP in home streaming but is not secure enough for anything above 1080i. 1080P to 4K streaming needs a new security scheme = Playready ND which I think Microsoft is trying to get accepted. DTCP+ coming for 4K has been in literature but nothing on what it will be.
Playready ND is ahead of the Revolution Presentation, must read plans and pricing for Playready ND in iOS and Android
Sept 2015
4K Enhanced Content Protection = Playready ND
In HOME streaming support to iOS and Android ( Porting kits to OEM, TVs, STB, PC, Silicon (Sony, Samsung, Nokia, Phillips, HTC (Mfg of Android and Windows Smart Phones))
from Windows 10 PCs, XB1 and ?PS4? My View is yes, 4K Playready ND streaming from the PS4 also. This is likely the reason for the Microsoft-Sony.com and Sony-Microsoft.com domain registration by Microsoft (or it's related to Sony's Passage and Playready 3/ND which amounts to the same thing). They will be the first to support
4K blu-ray players with a Digital bridge that streams 4K blu-ray over the home network using Playready ND to their platforms (Android TVs and Phones as well as Microsoft Surface with Miracast streaming to TVs).
Playready ND is ECP 4K protection for streaming between platforms in the home. There is no other 4K source for streaming in the home except 4K blu-ray players and side loaded Playready (Ultraviolet model).
Playready DRM supports the use cases in the Digital bridge slides.
In this proposal for Digital bridge, again a Sony proposal it mentions
C-ENC (Common encryption) which supports multiple DRM schemes but requires the same format used by Playready as does HTML5 <video> ME and Vidipath. On page 7 of the Sony Studios Digital bridge proposal is this:
"Streaming video to mobile / TV
from Home Server" from both AACS Bound Copy and non-AACS Bound Copy (likely Playready ND). They want the same functionality in the home that Ultraviolet has from the Cloud.
