Not pie in the sky things. When 2.0 comes out I'm pretty certain that they are leagues ahead of the competition on featureset (Remote wake! Glee!) - but theres still a lot of niggles that could do with addressing. For me its...

1. Pllllease let us create out own folders - at the very least under "Game" or at the very verrrry least have preset ones of "Demos", "PS1", "Non-Game" and "PSN". I really like the XMB and prefer it to the 360s media blades (so smooth, quick, advertless and less tonka) but even though Ive only bought 7 things from PSN, its so untidy having everything in one big list.

2. Have the videos automatically create an icon. Say, from 20seconds in every vid, that would work fine and we could alter it later if we wanted to.

....thats all I can think of right now, I thought there would be more. Hmm. Of course theres always the addition of more meat to the rather minimal friends blade and everyone would love some Xvid support (which some say is comming with Home) but if they fixed those two... infact, just the first one, I'd be satisfied.

Anything else? I'm sure Ive forgotten some things.

custom soundtracks is a biggy for me i know you dont want say greenday blasting out on a story driven game but motorstorm is perfect for custom soundtracks.
i agree on the video icon i went weeks without knowing you could put a icon on trailers.
i also agree that it should have a folder for ps1 games and one for demos and another for psn titles like superstardust it is silly all in one long line and needs a tidy up.
lets hope sony keeps improving its firmware as i think its done a lot since launch setting your own pictures and themes was a great addition as was dvd and ps2 game upscaling whatever 2.0 brings it should be all good.

Custom soundtracks is a great feature, but its one I rarely use so its not that important to me personally. Racing/sport games yeah, but its probably my least played genre.

In game XBM! How could I forget that? The best multitasking CPU the world has ever seen and it cant do that yet? Get the finger out sony!

Being able to power the USB ports while the console is off would be great too, youd never need to hunch up to the console ever again (or buy 3rd party chargers).


...would also be nice if the PSN store would take my money >_< Been trying to buy Tori Emaki for the last hour and it keeps saying transaction failed. Bah!
