I actually dont like theyre taking life with Playstation away :(
Sure the folding home stuff is done but couldnt they atleast keep that app? Like the whole “Live channel” thing was very convienient for me in my routine for news by cities along with the while earth model with daylight map =( i really liked it. If it were like a $1 app for ps3 in the playstation store id probably buy it, like i said, its great. And I havent found a better earth sunlight map than Life with playstation.
I doubt anyones actually gonna read this but if son, if you are listiing, please, figure something out i ask…

This update was supposed to end support of Life with Playstation for new users. It was still working for me (I have had it for years) until today.

Last night, my Plus “autodownload” feature downloaded an “update” for the app that essentially killed it.

I can’t believe I pay money for that feature. I’m going to go turn it off just in case Sony decides to defeature anything else I use automatically.

It’s a no brainer to make those updates work in the background as updates, rather than force you to wait for a long time when it updates, but after 6 years they’ve only gone backwards on ‘trophy technology’ and now that people have big profiles of games that has benefitted sony in profits for the console, they are being punished by their trophy lists and updates being so slow it’s infuriating. The new system is broken, it’s slow as hell, and you cannot check trophies mid-game, and when you check them and come back out of a game you have to wait for another 30 seconds for some 2nd retarded update!!

Sony’s the market leader in continually downgrading their platform. Nobody can beat them in that competition.. I think Sony had the best console platform, and they’ve now brought it down to on par and quickly getting worse than xbox – which I think was really hard to do, but they have achieved that downgrade with pure skill and dedication to downgrading the user experience.

Agree with chip-head – I convinced a number of my friends also to buy PS3′s because of Life w/Playstation and the folding in the background. I remember lavishing about what a great console it was. It has games, it can play your blurays, you can use it as a media centre with a NAS, you can run Linux on it and have it as a PC on your TV, it has folding@home to help cure diseases for its screen saver, AND while it’s doing it plays excellent relaxing music, and lets you look at weather/temperatures from around the world, while reading the latest news, and also trying out the heritage channel… and finally I went on about how great trophies were. Now, the linux is gone, the life w/playstation has now been also unecessarily removed. The trophies are now a joke – they have been broken ever since the inception of the local-trophies-only on trial games introduction (i think it was patch 2.43 or so?) when the uploads of trophies started taking a REALLY long time.

Since the Update, new Trophies (now I’m playing Assassin’s Creed III) wouldn’t appear in Trophy-List. So all the AC3 Trophies are missing… the whole Game is Missing in the Trophy-List. I hope they’ll fix that… don’t wanna play the game a second time for earn all the trophies i’ve not in the list since friday… :(

Is ist a Update-Problem? A friend of me has the same problem… no AC3 Trophies or Information on the Trophy-List… :(

Sony dropping support for folding-at-home on PS3 is really stupid. Earlier this year, Radeon-maker AMD made a huge mistake by dropping support for OpenCL from older platforms like Windows-XP. This only chased protein folders to NVidia (AMD’s main competition in the graphics market)

http://www3.sympatico.ca/n.rieck/docs/folding_at_home.html#graphic-card-caveat

A few years ago I convinced family (mostly cousins, nieces and nephews) and friends at work to purchase a PS3 console rather than an XBOX-360 because the Sony product could support folding-at-home while the Microsoft Product could not. Now Sony is making the same short-sighted mistake as AMD. If Sony thinks there are not enough people using the folding-at-home client then this is because Sony did a poor job of promoting the client while making it too difficult to install

I despise the change to the trophies. I hate where it was moved to and it is slower than crap now because it defaulted to that stupid online mode. I changed it but still really annoying. If you were going to move anything from the game column, couldn’t you get rid of the dumb Store bag that’s everywhere on the XMB?
