Were the pictures not enough? Now you can watch the globe in action with the above video showing the freshly announced Life with Playstation. Apparently, the globe isn't just a map but rather actual satellite imaging showing real-time cloud patterns. In addition to reading the news, it also appears you can browse the web and create a selection of music in your hard drive under a title, such as "relaxation", to suit your mood.
[Thanks, Kspraydad!]

Now that really is cool.

Real time imagery is a cool feature. It would be great if this will work automatically, circling the earth and displaying the items arond the world automatically rather than manually clicking on each one with the controller / mouse. Kinda like a 3D world weather map / RSS news feed.

hah, bit late? the wii already has this globe feature that displays world news :D (maybe not with such a good looking globe but at least the wii has the actually star placement in the sky around the earth)

that is very true, and i dont think this feature will be a selling point on the PS3 either. its just something else it can do. i mean its kinda cool, and it puts the two Wii features in one program but its nothing to write home about. i will probably rarely use it honestly.

that looks awesome.
I hope you can zoom in and use it like Google earth, but for some reason I don't see that happening :(
But still, I can imagine myself spending hours and hours just staring at that globe lol, it looks so cool.
and real time cloud patterns sounds incredible
I hope this comes out soon, hopefully within a month or so after E3 (sorry if it was mentioned in earlier posts about 'Life with Playstation', but I just can't be bothered going back and reading them [i have a short memory span lol])

I know! They need to concentrate on games.. Or at least 2 teams working on both individually.

Yeah it seems like a lot of people are stuck in 2005 still.
Sucks to be them really. They must be very high strung.
On eating Raisin Bran Cereal:
"My cereal has no raisins!"
On watching a Jerry Bruckheimer Movie:
"My movie has no explosions!"
You all should stop thinking about what isn't and concentrate on what is :)

You mean Sony should concentrate on shovelware like Nintendo? I'd rather have fewer quality games as opposed to a ton of crapware.

Maybe if they focused these resources on Home than maybe it wont be delayed any longer.
Seriously.

YES. A News feature would be very good for an already ONLINE service ... like Home itself o__o

I'm pretty sure they have enough devs to work on both simultaneously. ;)
More man-power doesn't always speed a project up. Too many cooks spoil the broth etc.

This looks great and to those who make comments like they should put their time behind games or HOME.... Do you think SONY only has 20 employees? This is part of their Japan division and has nothing to do with the division working on HOME. I think most of these very nice free and extra features will be here this year.

Judging by how fast they are getting these things out, you'd think they only have 20 employees.
But really, I'm not all that mad. I just wish we'd get to experience these things rather than just hear about them.

They really shouldn't announce things like this until they're ready to come out...this better not be another 9-18 month wait like Home and video download service

All I can picture is this screen on my TV, while siting in the dark, with Pink Floyd, a bean bag chair and a bong.

Cmon.. They realize the PS3 is a gaming console right?.. I don't need to watch weather patterns on a $500-$600 console that I bought for gaming and blu-ray.
