It has been confirmed by the BBC that it’s popular iPlayer media application will be updated on the Sony PlayStation 3 at some point in 2010, according to TechRadar.

IPlayer 3 went live online in June and includes the ‘for you’ social network recommendation service.

The BBC have stated that in March this year 6% of iPlayer users were PlayStation 3 users and have praised Sony and the PS3 platform previously.
