None of those are really groundbreaking features anymore. I was impressed 3 or so years ago, the last 2 years more and more of my devices have offered the same features as the PS3. The PS3 still has a wireless g signal, doesn't playback mkv or FLACs, most games aren't in 1080p, the browser is absolute shit (I honestly wouldn't cite that as a feature), and the free online play is about to disappear with new releases that require a PSN pass.
