What do you think will be included with 2.0?

[ClaytonMG]

This is kind of a stupid question, but I noticed a lot of people complaining about not being able to listen to their music while playing video games. I myself have never played a video game on here because I use it as a Blu-Ray player and there are very few games that interest me right now (there's a few coming up I'd like to get though). So is it true you can't listen to music off the HD while playing a game? I listen to film scores and like to listen to them while playing video games so if I am unable to do that, that's kind of sad. On the 360 I can, but I hate the 360!

Yea, I wouldn't mind being able to pull up the time, like on TV's. When I'm in HDMI mode, my TV won't display the time either, so it would be nice to have the PS3 do it.

I have a watch, a cell phone, and a clock on the wall. I don't really care if the the time displays when I press the PS button.

1.) Custom sound tracks for all games. I would like the ability to access the XMB during the game, go to music and select my own tracks, and play whatever music I choose, overriding the default music without overriding the sound effects.

2.) While playing online, I want the ability to contact friends via text or voice chat who are logged into the PSN from wherever they are at and invite them into a game.

3.) I want more plug in/software support for the PSN browser. I want things like WMV, Quicktime, and Real Audio/Video support. I'm sick of not being able to view game videos from places like IGN and Gametrailers.com because of lack of support from the browser. Also, I can't seem to find anywhere that let's you view/download HD game trailers through PSN except within the PS store.

Other minor updates I'd like to see...

1.) For god's sake! The PSP has had the ability to change the bg colors on the XMB for over 2 years! Why can't the PS3? Give us a generous color pallette and let us choose our own bg colors.

2.) Font choices. It would be nice to give us an array of font choices for our system.

3.) The ability to create and name individual folders for videos, photos, music, etc would be nice.

4.) The ability to download entire dvd/blu ray disks on the hard drive.

That's about all I can think of.

I can agree with you on option number one, we should be able to change the background color. A way to expand on this would be to let us download additional backgrounds from the playstation store. I'm not sure about option 4, it would be nice, but I hope you don't mean downloading a blu-ray movie that would take up 50 GB's of space when the ps3 only has 60 to begin and then 55 for the system software. It has taken sony a while to get all the bugs out and add new options so that the ps3 is in the same boat as the xbox 360, but they are doing it. I did like the option of not putting in a USB cable prior to installing the new update because I found that to be unnessary.

Personally I'm sick of so many formats. That's the real problem to me. I'd prefer one format for video instead of everyone trying to keep up with all the different formats etc. The PITA your experiencing arises from that core issue. Today it's manifested in the PS3 browser - tomorrow its' your car and on and on etc.

PS and PS2 games are scaled up, but not PS3 games. I guess Sony want to push the game developers to develope 1080p games...
