Today, Sony Computer Entertainment exec Kaz Hirai announced “Life with PlayStation” for the PS3. During the presentation, the “Life” was demoed for the audience for the first time — the service shows the Earth, and users can access current news and weather for locations around the world. It’s possible to even pull up the full article from the headline. Users can also set background music while looking at the Earth, checking the weather and the world news.

You can show a lot of things in an ad these days. Bums, bits of tits, it’s all fair game. One thing that’s not cool to show, however, is a little bald European man sitting in a bathtub, especially when said European is a mercenary, holding a gun and saying he listens to Puccini. Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority have banned an internet ad featuring Kovac, one of Sony’s “This is Living” PS3 ad campaign characters (you may also be familiar with half-naked girl sitting on the can). In the short ad, some text is shown that reads: You on my side? Listen up, I’ve killed for less. The music plays Puccini in my head.
