TUAW's Daily App: PSN Go

We've spotlighted a few different Xbox Live browsers here on the site before, so here's a little console balance. PSN Go is an app designed to let you browse and control your PlayStation Network account (the account that you set up when you've got a PS3 connected to the Internet). It's unofficial (not created by Sony) and made by a third party, but you can log in with a PSN name and password and browse through your friend lists, gamer profile, trophy lists, and other PSN information.

Unfortunately, unlike most of the other "account browser" apps that we've seen, this one is priced a little higher than free -- it's US $1.99. While that's still not a lot, it is quite a bit to pay for just the opportunity to browse friends' lists when away from your console. Still, the app has a full in-app game database, and it's pretty well polished and runs great. Plus, it's getting updated; it's all set for the iPhone 4's Retina Display, and it's seen a few UI improvements and bug fixes already. If you find yourself browsing your PSN account quite a bit (especially when not at home), it's probably worth the couple bucks.

I'm rather interested how the apps gets all this information. Sony has explicitly stated they will not allow 3rd parties access to the PSN Network SDK, so how does he get it? I'm thinking its pulled from the Playstation website, which I bet Sony isn't going to like.

This app is just amazing. All I wanted in a PSN app. Faster than the other alternative and looks incredibly good on the iPhone 4. Finally the PS3 gets some love on the AppStore.

I own this app. It is fantastic. Unfortunately, because MS does not allow you to charge for an app...the Xbox live app the same guy makes is no longer on the appstore. It is very disappointing to say the least. I was really looking forward to the updates in the PSN app making their way to the Xbox app.

As soon as Sony decides to come out with one that incorporates the ability to email friends on psn while away from the ps3 then I'll buy...
