Life with Playstation Video Demonstration

PS3 Fanboy:

"Were the pictures not enough? Now you can watch the globe in action with the above video showing the freshly announced Life with Playstation. Apparently, the globe isn't just a map but rather actual satellite imaging showing real-time cloud patterns. In addition to reading the news, it also appears you can browse the web and create a selection of music in your hard drive under a title, such as "relaxation", to suit your mood."

[MaximusPrime]

brilliant idea. Thank you for the video ;)

and thanks Sony!

[Condoleezza Rice]

We should all be grateful that we've got a Multi Billion dollar company that is pushing new and innovative ways to experience their Star product.

Sony-You continue to outdo yourself,bravo!

[Jim Crowslaw]

it seems like TV'll soon be obselete wit this and the new movie DL feature comin*, it seems a ps3 is all u need

*See prior N4G gaming news for further details

EDIT: BTW, the song playin in the bkgd is really nice, but idk if its just me but it sounds just like that song they play over the PA at my job allllllll f*ckin day, idk the name of it but perhaps one of ya may, it goes: "its not right, its not ok....it gets harder each dayyyyyyyyy, and i bet hes on his way....im not fine im not OKKKKKK..."

I HATE THAT DAMN SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't understand anything that guy was talking about. He must have been from Texas or Oklahoma or something, I'm bad with accents.

[Sheddi]

And I thought he was japanese :S
didnt understand anything from the beginning so i gave up and assumed he was japanese

[uie4rhig]

Now that's innovation .. but i bet you that Microsoft will do the same within 1 month after this has been released (1 month being the time for them to study this carefully).. exclusively to Xbox Live Gold members lol

[zane_7849]

Once again a good reason for some kind of sarcasm button, thanks for being so genuine Sheddi but I was joking buddy.

[marinelife9]

That's why Sony was voted #1 by consumers as the most innovative company.

Sony comes up with some great ideas. They are anchoring me more and more to my couch for everything.

It's funny how the Wii tried to do this with the weather channel and the news channel, but the Wii is just underpowered to do innovative stuff like this. This is where power really matters. I just laugh at the people who say the power or the graphics don't matter in a system.

[Milky]

WTF are you lot talking about ? The Wii has had a globe news channel since its launch. This isnt as innovative as you think, although it is alot better than the wii one.

[mikeslemonade]

This looks like an awesome application I hope it's a free one.

[Chubear]

This is simply beyond what any other console is doing.

[NeonSkull]

I like alot, also towards the end of the video it shows a small music control widow that looks like the it is a ps3 system menu. I wonder if this was running on fw2.4 and that this was the music contol for ingame background music. I might be way off as the vid clip would not fullscreen for me.

[crimsonfox]

they have all kinds of categories too that's nice.

[celtics38]

So its just the weather right

[Chronopath]

nope local new too. and I believe that other applications are going to revolve around (no pun intended) the whole globe idea. I think I read something about pictures and videos being uploaded and bookmarked to certain places. Probably like a traveling reference utility.

[Le-mo]

Better than I expected.

[Skerj]

I wonder if Q did this since they did the Earth visualization with the music, also they said there were some bigger things they were working on when it was released that they couldn't talk about.

If this thing can accept real RSS feeds, with a quick boot I'd be more inclined to use this for my news and info than checking my PC at times.

[Doctor Strange]

I hope this ties into the Earth visualizer as well, seems like a perfect match.

[BigKev45]

The PS3 is finally coming along.

[SirFenwick]

Interesting... I'd like to see more.

[staub91]

Sony you are amazing!

[Mr_Bun]

Hope the weather is more accurate than the wii version...the wii version is brutal!

[Pain]

ow my eyes. i hate old vid cams...

[iHEARTboobs]

I need to go home and give my Shiny Black Tank a hug. <3

[DJ]

Ditto.

[Steveo6890]

thanks nintendo for this idea (sorta) i actually used my wii yesterday to check the weather (wasnt right at all said it was supose to have thunderstorms but we just had sun all day but yeah this looks wayyyyy better than the wii weather channel

[ApocalypseShadow]

playstation isn't just a game system,it's a "lifestyle."

"computer entertainment system"

sony has said this since playstation 1.not just "games" like impatient fans of another system keep saying.but:

computer generated content delivered to you daily.connecting you to the world and your community......hmmmmmm......i should patent that.

apocalypse................

[vilmer]

Interesting :)

[Sheddi]

when do we get this ?
<3 sony

[Stinkinmushroom]

Rotating globe with news.. I asked for Wipeout HD, not the earth

[mattkelly1991]

You reall can't play wipEout. Besides, just becuase this is coming doesn't mean it will lag something completely unrelated. Thats like saying just becuase you get an A in Science, you have to get a F in something else. I dont think the lag on wipEout is becuase of this. There are other things to blame.

[Ri0tSquad]

Just go to Settings > Date and Time Settings > Time Zone & you should see the globe pop up as background. If you select different time zones the globe will move. It looks almost identical to the one in that video.

[Deathbringer]

wow that is really innovative

[wind_dragon]

i can see some kid using it as an excuse to not get of the system if their parent told them to.
Parent - "I told you to get off that game half an hour ago Jimmy!"
Jimmy - "I'm reading the news...see.*points"
Parent - "Oh,...well then I guess I'll shut up."
Jimmy - "*mutters* Thats right you just got ownd."

[Says you]

Friends in your friends list it would tell you which part of the world where your friends are!.

[DFresh]

Now that's just amazing.
At a time I thought Nintendo's internet for a console was awesome but this is just amazing.
