Many of you have seen PlayStation LifeStyle’s announcement that Life With PlayStation was available for download. With so many PS3 users left in the cold, PlayStation LifeStyle is bringing you the FACTS about Life With PlayStation so you can prepare for when it is finally released to the public…
- Life With PlayStation was released accidentally, Sony told Eurogamer “Today, while testing the application, Life with PlayStation was available for download temporarily, by mistake“
- It’s coming shortly. Sony added to Eurogamer “We will make official announcement for the service launch shortly.”
- It does NOT require, nor have anything to do with FW 2.43 unlike what Kotaku is saying (Kotaku is saying “2.43 PS3 update adds Life With PlayStation for some“)
- Life With PlayStation replaces Folding@Home icon, and application.
- Folding@Home runs while using Life With PlayStation, so you can feel good about using it…
- To download (when it’s publicly available) you start up Folding@Home, you will be prompted to update to Life With PlayStation version 1.00, which is a 126MB download.
- It displays headlines from across the globe, as well as weather and temperature for many countries.
- In-Game XMB works during Life With PlayStation
- Its FREE!!!
There you have it, those are the cold hard facts about Life With PlayStation. This service isn’t exactly groundbreaking, and if you own a Wii, its very similar to the Wii News Channel and Forecast Channel combined.

And I didn’t get it when it slipped out. Everyone needs to take note of that. lol
Don’t feel to bad Chris, I am the only one on our staff that DID get it.
Yeah I hope they officially launch it soon, worldwide!
Lol, I know.
I shall get it and I shall view the globe, know all of the news, so on and so forth
WOW Chris you inspire me know ALL the news…and even view the globe. XD
@iFlash
I do what I can.
Since it is like F@H, will it work on remote play with the PSP?
cool. thanks for the info.
MODERATOR: I am sure you meant it as a joke, but since this is a article about facts, I will not have people reading false info.
It needs to allow you to select preferences for which news you want. so if you want sports news for england, every time a new story breaks, it should scroll along the top of the screen whilst you’re playing games
This have news from Puerto Rico also? The wii one have it but so limited.
Fuck, man that makes me really upset cuz i have been looking forward to life with playstation for a good month and i miss it when it is even available.
hehe I got it when it slipped. That’ll show ‘em for not giving me a home invite
OMG!!!!! When did they release it by accident??? I hope i was in school!!!
This runs with folding@home so I can Feel Good about using it?
Heck, I paid $500 for my PS3, so I feel just fine using anything it does whether or not it’s chained to some Stanford scientific project.
But I think it’s probably an Excellent Thing to start trying to make everyone feel guilty about everything they do if it isn’t green, helping the less fortunate, or low in calories. Are you sleeping or breathing when you could be out there saving the planet? Man, I think I’d start thinking seriously about that kind of irresponsible behavior. And how much energy are you wasting for future generations by allowing your heart to beat 60 or more times per minute? We’d better explore the possibility of getting that down to 20bpm, or stopping it altogether. THERE’S the real way to save the planet. No more human heartbeats. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
And now that I think about it, we’re probably wasting a lot of natural resources by manufacturing these Playstation 3 systems, optical disc games, and Blu-ray movies. We should probably just grind them all into mulch to sustain lower life forms.

Wow boblinds,
You get that pissed at the thought of helping people?
Besides it a whimsical statement, nothing serious.
You should really learn to relax in life.
@boblinds
you disgust me.
Am I going to be able to see the molecule thing, i love it. it make a good screen saver when i play music.
it make my ps3 screen look like screen from sci-fi channel… please don’t take that out 
Life with Playstation is now availible for everyone! Just go to F@H app and there will will be an update!
Enjoy! =)
@boblinds – you some kind of freak? I mean what on earth you going on about?
Anyway I think LWP is a really cool idea – I stopped loggin into folding@home because it stopped my PS3 from doing other things.. now I can play tunes, browse some news and its a cool screen saver so no Burn-in on my Plasma – Sweet
Life with Playstation is now officially out… just go and update your folding @ home and wallah
All info regarding Life with Playstation is now under ps blog… i just updated
It’s now available. But why bother? The moronic in-house producers for this thing failed to implement the browser zoom feature for their news service. As a result, on most living room HDTVs — where, I suspect, the PS3 is oftgen located — it is virtually impossible to read the tiny print of the news stories. Sure, the globe is pretty, but by failing to implement this one simple feature (which is already available on the PS3 browser) half of this application is useless.
When I was running software development at a major game company, I would have fired a producer over a gaff like this. Just. Brain. Dead.

“You should really learn to relax in life.”
And you should learn to treat your readers a little more politely and not proffer amateur psychological advice when you don’t “get” a posting.
I expect pejorative comments from other readers but as one of the principals of this site you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. (I really enjoy the site, by the way. It’s a daily visit for me.)
Then, you should read something about satire (try Swift. “A Modest Proposal”) and learn that whimsy takes all kinds of forms, some of them darker than others.
