varun Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=197381 Life with PlayStation released "by mistake" Wednesday 17-Sep-2008 2:34 PM News service launched then pulled down Sony has told CVG that today's surprise launch of the PS3's news and weather channel, Life with PlayStation, was a mistake. The channel went live earlier today, surprising the lucky few who stumbled across the update and managed to get it all installed before Sony whipped it back offline again. The 126MB download changes the Folding@Home app into the new Life with PlayStation channel (F@H does its cancer-curing job in the background while you read the news), but the update is no longer available. "Today, while testing the application, Life with PlayStation was available for download temporarily, by mistake," Sony UK told CVG. "We will make [an] official announcement for the service launch shortly," it added. Keep an eye on CVG for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Impressions of Life With PlayStation As we previously posted, Life With PlayStation is live. We downloaded it (did you?) and took it for a spin. And yes, it's basically Sony's take on Wii News and Wii Weather — which isn't a bad thing, per se. Life With PlayStation has literally just launched and it kinda shows. For example, there aren't many cities on the Life With PlayStation globe. (Hello? Where's Dallas?) But, we don't doubt Sony will continue to add cities, though. Users can pull up news from Google, which is also kinda nice if you don't have a computer. Our one big gripe: It's somewhat hard to read the news text off a television from the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
