Life With PlayStation just got a little bit more interesting, as it’s just received an update to the service. PlayStation LifeStyle has the full details as well as screenshots after the jump…

Today Life With PlayStation has received a new channel called The World Heritage Channel.  While it’s certainly nothing groundbreaking, and it’s essentially a world clock at heart, the new channel is full of class and sophistication.

Featuring gorgeous snapshots of both “natural and man-made treasures” which have been selected by UNESCO to maintain for future generations to enjoy and appreciate their beauty.  Being that these locations are located in various locations throughout the globe, it would be difficult to see them all. So courtesy of Sony’s a Digital SLR camera you can now visit the serene locations, free of charge right from the comfort of your own home.

Each location gives you a brief description, as well as a masterfully captured photograph, taken by film director Yuji Nukui.  Locations including France, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, China, Japan, Thailand and more, feature 12 photographs of each site, all taken at different times of the day.  The variations of sunlight, or moonlight, offer a real glimpse into the breathtaking elegance that each of these locations has to offer.

The photos change every 2 hours, and you can use your PlayStation 3 controller to virtually traverse to each location at your will.  Alternatively you can leave the application’s newest channel in autopilot mode, where images for each location will be shown automatically.

The World Heritage Channel on Life With PlayStation might not be what the average gamer is looking for in their favorite console.  But the remarkable beauty is undeniable, and surely should be appreciated for what it is.

  1. I have been using Life with Playstation more and more recently and I believe it is a great feature to have. It might not be something that a typical “gamer” would use but nevertheless it is a great function for that other class of gamer that aren’t just all about games, games, and games

  2. That’s why I love Sony, Sony has class just like it’s fanbase bottom line!! (disclaimer) There’s a few that don’t.

  9. It looks awesome. I’m sure this has been in the program for a while, but I just realised that you can disable folding. Which is great because I’m never in the program long enough to finish a unit, but I still like to check it out every now and then.

  10. hI I new to this what is this about ” Life with Playstation ” I see it as a option but never selected it. know its has something to do w/ folding. if I use it how does it effect my gaming. I just was afraid to turn it on
