Unconfirmed: DVR functionality (already available in Europe, unannounced for US), Internet Radio, AVI playback, patch to allow PS2 controllers (i.e. steering wheels, guitars, dance pads) to work with PS2 emulation, bluetooth stereo audio, multiple headset compatibility, Ipod connectivity (to stream music in-game).

Wtf are you talking about? Profile 3.0? Dolby TrueHD? The PS3 already decodes TrueHD, and it would NEED HDMI 1.3a or better to bitstream it, so that's a no-go unless they update the hardware. And Profile 3.0.....does not exist. That link says nothing about either one of these.

Didn't realize Dolby True HD was supported already, Firmware updates can get the HDMI up to 1.3 (the HDMI cable structure doesn't change each .xx revision) since as of 4/9/08 there are articles still saying that the PS3 is the only future proof BD player on the market still (and will be for a while). Technically 3.0 doesn't exist but I'm referring to HDD use and Java programs (i.e. Java based BD games that aren't out till Fall 08') on BD's, Digital transfer and the ability to get cellphone ring tones off a Blu-ray disc are potential profile 3.0 candidates.

the HDMI is 1.3 already, it would need to be 1.3a! Dont you hate how technology always updates?
as far as GAP and Retail Loyalty Site(RLS) GAP is invite only, I got a letter in the mail 5 years ago offering me this free membership... so I took it! I was not really active on it very much till PS3 though.... RLS is for people that work electronics retail and is also free! It is really cool and has learning modules modules on EVERYTHING Playstation! You take the learning modules and are awarded points to get free games(SCEA published usually) and accessories like shirts, hats, watches, etc. But free games is awesome. Sitting on the computer for like 2 hours can net you two free PS3 games, but people snag fast when they become available, so I check everyday! Hope it was informative.
