If you've ever wished you could find everything you need to start your day on your PLAYSTATION 3, Life with PlayStation give you one more reason to do so. This free service delivers a new way for you to utilize your PS3 to instantly access real-time news and information like weather updates from over 60 cities around the world.

Life with PlayStation provides a stunning interactive globe, a 3D world map that you can twirl around to see live cloud movement courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, combined with up-to-date weather information from the Weather Channel, top news headlines provided by Google news, and live web cam images via the Earth Television Network — all localized to the select city. And why not have your favorite soundtrack playing in the background while you go through your morning ritual (just think, no TV commercials and teasers to find out if you need to bring an umbrella to work)? You're on your own for your morning caffeine fix.

I downloaded it, used it for 5 minutes and closed it. Don't think I'll be using it again. It only gives the weather for 1 city in England and I live nowhere near it. I'll stick to websites and 24 hour news channels for this kind of stuff :) I think it's just a front to get more people folding anyway.

This is much like the Wii.... it's neat at first, but ultimately adds nothing.

I can do all of that more easily right here on my PC, have been able to for years. Spend less time on crap like this, and more time getting games on your service, Sony.

Does what Sony said it would do, no complaints here. Doubt I'll use it much though.

i have been doing all these things with a news paper for years...

edit:

I just realized something! That means T.V. copied newspapers by broadcasting news :o and the internet copied T.V. and newspapers!!!! They need to come up with there own ideas and stop stealing them from other people. :roll:

It'll be neat for like a week then useless after that, just like the Information Board ticker thing, I turned that thing off, also am I the only one that never Folding @ Home. Anyway, unlike Folding @ Home, I think I'll give Life with Playstation a try.

I don't have a PS3. :(

It sounds cool though, like the Wii's, but can't you just go online and do that using the browser?

But I do have an 360, I'm waiting to see the big dashboard changes.

If anything, this is a great example of how Sony really didn't think this through.

There's no clear indication of where to find it. I had to look it up on the web. To even know where it is, you have to go to Folding At Home to download, then click it again to install.

Then, the clouds are static and the weather doesn't have any forecasting.

Really kinda useless.
