The avatars, while cute, need more options. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that there was a "beard" option. And, there need to be more business casual options.
It's a cute idea, but the narration definitely feels like they're ripping off LittleBigPlanet. I only watched the first minute or so, but it's all I could think of.
I'd like NXE better if it wasn't so damn slooooooooooow.
I have a replacement elite after my original bought on the first day of release got the RRoD, and since the install of NXE the menus are slow to respond and will even stall and not allow me to do anything for 15 - 30 seconds. It's a pain in the ass.
I don't like the NXE (even though I use it). Sure, it's got some cool features and there's a mini-blade UI in the NXE, but I don't like how I'm being forced to use it if I don't want it.
@Bearded Rapper even though the whole Joaquin...: You know, I had this same problem before with this show call "Firefly". I didn't like how the pace of the show and just not used to it. It's too slow. I wrote them several letters about it and sure enough, they did do something about it.
This is why the PS3 is far superior... less issues.
Sorry 360 Fan boys.. but the 360 has been a mess since day one. Typical MS crap, they take 2 years to resolve things.. I'm sure Vista will work great after Win7 comes out. They don't care about their customer base like Sony does. If there is an issue.. Sony seems to resolve it usually within 24 hours.
I think it may be random, I just got my Xbox from Santa Claus, and I get no sound through HDMI.
Not sure if it was mentioned but the only way for me to get sound is to take my HDD off, start up the console and let it load, then put the HDD back on then it resets itself and I have sound.
@Cameron Whaley: huh, my brand new Samsung doesn't have any problems with the audio over HD, but I did also buy a brand new xbox arcade at about the same time to replace my unreliable launch era xbox...
But I also don't normally use the TV speakers, so it may have been intermittently dropping out with out me noticing (I use the HDMI->TV and AV/optical out to my old 5.1 deck)...
But I know the audio signal on the HDMI works whenever I have the TV speakers on.
They have some very bizarre, and self-contradictory views on content. They also have lots of confusion over Proprietary vs. Open Standard. Add to that their increasingly low-quality hardware and poor design, and things just go from bad to worse.
I'm certainly not saying other competitive companies are better, but this is just one more reason why I avoid Sony products completely.
I don't really like the decision but I don't think it is as bad a decision as everyone here who obviously hates Sony says it is.
I am not sure of the # of people who would use the Netflix program, but I can't see it being a very big factor that determines a persons reason for having a PS3. Maybe if you love Netflix and rent tons of movies all the time from their streaming service sure.
For those of you saying "I would sell my PS3 if..." well something obviously made you buy it and keep it until this point. Probably shouldn't say anything until you actually sell it cause then your point is moot as Sony still has your money.
@efenili: If the Sony PR had simply said "No Thanks" to Netflix, it would have been ok. But when they opened their trap about "Owning content" when they have their own rental system, then they're just being a hypocrite.

HDMI audio works just fine for me too.

Microsoft on the other hand loves to nickel-and-dime for features. Netflix on the 360, for example, requires TWO separate subscriptions to use.
