Life with PlayStation coming very soon, supports Folding@home

Life with PlayStation - Image 1"The Life with PlayStation application is looking good," so says Senior Development Manager for SCEA R&D Noam Rimon. In a post on the PlayStation Blogs today, he confirmed that the application is indeed nearing its launch.

What's more, it's gonna be offered as a free service and will easily be accessible directly from the XMB. For those of you giving blank looks as to what Life with PlayStation is, then listen up. It will feed live content on to your PS3 with updates on news and weather, complete with stunning visuals and a global map that is interactive.

Apart from that, it will be combined with the highly successful Folding@home project. As you all know, leaving your PS3 running helps Stanford researchers continue their work on the discovery of cures to several diseases like Alzheimer's and cancers. Therefore, when you tune in to Life with PlayStation, you will essentially be continuing the Folding@home project as well.

Neat little package, huh? Anyhow, the only thing keeping them now from actually releasing the app are some paperworks. Hopefully that won't take too long now. Keep you posted on updates on this.

YouTube support is already available for a couple of games (mainly in Japan). PixelJunk Eden will have YouTuvbe support in it's next patch (if the patch isn't out already).



The funny thing is that you still might not be able to view your uploaded YouTube clips on the PS3's browser, although I'm sure we will be able to by the time that VidZone is available.



Screen capture is a rumour. Not even I knew about screen capture on the PS3 and I know about something which WAS due out in v2.50 (but might have been pushed back to a later firmware).

# Very soon? Heard that one before — Henkibojj 2008-09-01 09:22
"Very soon" as in just as "soon" as the open beta of Home was going to be released? As "soon" as the old GTA games were to be sold on PSN? As "soon" as we were to get the BD-copy feature for the PSP? As "soon" as that cellphone integration feature? As "soon" as the Remote Play features were to be expanded?



Give us a goddamn date already, we're getting tired of all your (Sony's) "very soon" ("six months or later") timelines.
