It seemed a bit lackluster after yesterday's announcements from Microsoft bringing Facebook, Twitter and last.fm to the Xbox 360 console, but never one to be outdone, Nintendo made a social networking announcement of its own at its E3 keynote today with the news that owners of the new DSi handheld will be able to upload photos taken from the built-in camera directly to Facebook to share with friends. Will Sony announce Facebook integration and make it a trifecta? We'll be finding out very shortly.

It had to happen eventually, but do we really need to be able to update our facebook status when playing games.
