Tutorial Step 1

Start off by finding a picture you're wanting to add this effect to and open it or add it into an existing photoshop document.
Tutorial Step 2

Duplicate the picture layer then select the newly duplicated layer and goto Filters>Blur>Gaussian blur, The formula I used is 1.0 of gaussian blur per 100 pixels of image, So 500x500 is 5.0 Gaussian blur.
Tutorial Step 3

Set the Layer mode on the duplicated layer to 'Overlay' for a Harder more saturated image, Or 'Soft Light' for the opposite.
Tutorial Step 4

Select the original picture layer and Open the Hue & Saturation (CTRL + U). Start turning down the saturation bar, Until you get it to where it looks about right. It should be fairly low on the bar, because the image should get most of its color from the duplicated layer.
Tutorial Step 5

Duplicate the Blurred layer and goto Filter>Noise>Add Noise. Drag the bar all the way to the right, Make sure Monochromatic is checked and then click Ok. Now set this Layer's Layer mode to Soft Light and drop the Opacity down to about 10%.
