Background music allowed on PS3's weather and news service

AS you may have read, as part of the Playstation Life scheme, people will be able to read news on the PS3 but it has also been revealed that they can check the weather too. It is also possible to set background music while viewing the earther and checking the news and weather all around the world. Twelve shots of the service are available to view at Dengeki.com.

Wii has had this since release, and it's not hard to improve on something that's pretty bad already.

Yea great, because I love sitting through installs. Especially in MGS4 when you have to install Mid-game. That's just fantastic.

I'll say the feature is cool when it gets here. Judging by Home, I don't believe anything Sony says.

I think the new feature is a pretty cool idea...espically since olders gamers supposedly have ps3's and older people love the weather channel...lol. In all seriousness though, this will be another another great addition for the ps3

I could care less about the weather in other countries or music playing in the background. That's why we have the internet and our PCs. Instead of wasting time on that, make PSN more accessible for online play. There are like 10 times as many people using microphone headsets on Xbox live than PSN. PSN is like a ghost town.. but Sony doesnt care about online play...

I'm not quite sure the guys dev'ing this app have anything to do with the number of headsets in use.

It's Sony's method...I don't make the rules. Contact them. SCEA says this stuff in articles/interviews all the time, almost like it's an inside joke.

Mau-Justice

It's not Sony's method. Questions on any product still in development in any industry get that kind of response. A release date consists of a day, month, and year. None have been given for this app, none have been given for 2.40, none have been given for HOME.

I can't wait for the PS3 fanboys who bashed Wii for having a forecast channel come forth and start praising PS3 for getting one of their own. Oh wait, maybe it's already started.

It's not a inside joke. It just takes time for them to get it out on the market. Belive me when it comes it will be well worth the wait. Even when this update comes you can also use it in PS3 home. You can then play your music, and vidoes directly inside the game in a virtual TV.

Yet switching discs midgame was "such a burden". At least that's what Sony fans said. :)

rodrigoww i agree with you. mau-justice, you're just a sad person.. u complain about midgame instal of MGS4? less than 5 minutes in on of the best game ever? go shatter ps3's popularity and expand your negativity to your own friends ok?

5 minutes? PER ACT. PLUS the installation in the beginning. Trying to sugar coat it?

Such is the life of a Sony fanboy. Watch as the other consoles get everything else first, laugh at it, call it useless or not something I care about then when Sony launches their version say things like I can't wait for this or this is so much better then (insert console name here)'s version.

this is why people flame you, always trying to start a console war or stir up an agrument. why cant you just state your opinion without taking digs constantly.

He did have a point (Albeit a small one) Remember how PS3 fans ripped on Achievements constantly? Then they get all excited when they announced Trophies. Some things tend to get forgotten.

It works both ways though.

Oh, been looking for something to replace the Weather Channel - this is it!!

They only have the weather on the 8's anymore, it's not like it used to be.

Anyways, I would love this feature even more if you could Fold@Home while watching weather. Will that be a feature, or did they forget about it?

Seems you have forgotten that the people who do not care for achievements are not the same people who are praising trophies. Just because each of them are PS3 owners doesn't mean they are the same person. Pretty narrow-minded of you.

I for one was one of those who don't care for achievements and play games to get out of them what I want to get out of them, not what some list tells me I should so I can brag about it. So yes, I have been and will always be a person who doesn't care for achievements/trophies/points...any of that and never will.
