Remember when Sony said its news-and-weather-service, Life with PlayStation, would be coming in August (after initially saying it would be coming in July)? Well, calendar-equipped readers may have noticed that August has come and gone and the service is still not available. Not to fret, though, as a post on the official PlayStation blog promises that the team is just "pushing some paperwork" on the service and asks that anticipatory fans (both of you) should "hold tight just a bit longer."
The post also reveals that the free service will integrate with Folding@Home, so users can help Stanford researchers as they're scanning the headlines. Let's see CNN.com do that!

Who cares?
I'll just turn on the weather channel or watch the news.
LWP is stupid, i'm more concerned about HOME.

What's with the article written by immature kids here these days. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. You expect this trash on XboxLive, seems it's also Joystiq bloggers are also 12yr old kids too..

Oh yeah, I forgot about the throngs of people who can't look outside to see the weather or get the newspaper and want to get them on their $400+ game system. I know I've been waiting for it!

It's called Blogger's Snark, which, depending on the love for the platform the post is about they will use at their discretion.
This way, don't sound like fanboys TOO much.

Before you downvote him, I'd like to point out there hasn't been a Delaystation joke since like some kind of a FF13 delay.

It sounds better than CancellationStation 3, which is even more devastating.

The simple truth is Sony has a device they own, directly selling to you film, TV & and video game IPs they own while profiting from other non-Sony products being sold on an optical format they co-own or over an online service they own. The PS3 could become a linchpin for the HD-era, especially since it has a fully supported flavour of Linux in Yellow Dog, essentially making it a computer in addition to a home theatre hub.

Well, I'm one of the two who have been waiting for this. I want this about half as much as I want Home, and I want Home like people stranded in the Sahara Desert for 6 days want water. Well, maybe not that bad, but you get the point. I can't wait for Life with PlayStation!

honestly u guys are lame. its just something else to add to the ps3s capabilities why are u guys bitching so much.it doesnt negate anything it just added another bullet on the box.folding at home, blu ray(best), internet, games, music, dl movies(US), storage,dl games, dl themes, ability to install linux, and now news and weather, watch tv(EU additional device needed), eventually HOME. u cant add anything without someone throwing shit around. not posting to impress nor inform because i own one of these modern day Swiss army knife, but to send a big shut the fuck up to those who come into the post just to complain about a system they dont have. WTF blu ray won get over it some of u guys are still holdin out. for what? so u can play ur dvds on the big 60 inch flat panel 1080p tfuckinv? u guys count pixels but wont buy a blu ray player b/c u cant bare to pull away from MS or nintendos tit or ding a ling(yeah i said it arf arf im a big dog. i wish i could of added a couple more f bombs to bring my point across clearer)....
