PS3 enhancements

[JAMCAS50]

I find the PS3 is full of surprises and its great to keep discovering new features, and when I do I get an increased feeling of satisfaction from my purchase.

Im not really a gamer, and this is my first console ever, I bought it to play some games and watch blu ray movies becasue it was the cheapest adn most available bluray player, however it has turned out that I mainly surf the web and watch videos (and bluray on it) rather than play games. I bought motorstorm which I think is awesome and Im waiting for a FPS game like crysis to arrive. (im a far cry fan from my Pc a few years ago)

My wish list of enhancements or suppliments to the PS3 after 3 months of usage are below, what do you think ?

Are there features Im not aware of that could over come these things ?


Content
======

1. Besides the PS3 store where else can I get quality HD material ?

2. I saw the preview for the new game called Crysis, Im assuming it will be made available on the PS3 however the trailers that are available in HD formats are not compatible with the PS3 !. Do you know a website to find PS3 compatible HD content like game trailers ?

3. Wider Codec support for DivX,Xvid,WMV, MOV and AVI files would be great.


Video Management
==============

1. The ability to create folders (and nested folders) to sort my video clips, similar to the way albums are stored in folders. (movie trailer folder, home video folder, game trailer folder etc ..)


2. Just like the slideshow feature for pictures or the shuffle feature to continuous music play, Id like to have a similar fetaure to shuffle playback of my video clips.

3. Expand the upscaling feature to include any video playback (ie video files stored on the PS3) and not just DVDs

4. Support for a file system like NTFS that allows larger than 4GB file

5. Again Wider Codec support for DivX,Xvid,WMV, MOV and AVI files.

6. How about a USB plug in HDTV tuner and the ability to record TV shows onto the PS3 HDD



Internet Browsing
=============
1. I find the browser sluggish to load a page, its not my internet connection because IE6 on my notebook works fine. Are there any settign to improve this, or is the browser just weak at the moment.

2. I think better support for the funky html, flash etc .. that some sites use so that navigation works better with PS3 controller (jump to next link)

3. Support for some additional plugins to allow display / reading a PDF file or video playback on some sites.

2. Faster loading of webpages, the browser seems to be too slow

3. Better page scrolling , scrolling a page like www.smh.com.au or news.com.au is painfull (try it out)

4. Ability to open up a bookmark in a new window

6. Remove the number of open windows limitation, from memory you can only open 6 or 8 browser windows. However I find my self having to do this due to the sluggish loading of pages.


Music
=====

1. Having album covers as icons would be neat, (like the folders storing photos)


GUI
===

1. Ability to set the background color, or a picture as your background

2. A system clock that can be displayed on the background or overlayed on screen

3. I havent tried the chat facility, but a cool feature would be if the PS3 would connect to my VOIP provider and allow me to use a bluetooth headset via the PS3 to my VOIP provider.

4. Or even be able to connect my sony ericsson phone to the PS3 by blue tooth and use it as a voip phone.

5. It would be cool if I could receive inbound calls too from my voip account via the PS3
