Life With Playstation On the Way

The Playstation Blog has just revealed that their newest project Life with PlayStation is going through some final paperwork, but what is Life with Playstation you might ask?

Convenient paragraph from the PSBlog ahoy!

We’re going to offer this as a free service that will be easily accessible directly from the XMB. Life with PlayStation will feed live content to your PS3 with updates on news and weather on a visually stunning and interactive global map. Imagine being able to wake up to your PS3 to see if you need to pack an umbrella for the day. Or just relax as you listen to your favorite tunes while reading up on top news from around the world.

Sounds just like the Wii's news section, but better thanks to the fact you can listen to music or run Folding@Home while you read up on the day's headlines.
