All my MP4's still work flawlessly. There will always be idiots trying to stream video across wireless links and such. The other issue of course, is alot of these MP4's are of unknown origin, (i.e. Bittorrent). I expect if you encode them yourself using Handbrake and use a wired connection, then it will work just fine and dandy, like all mine do...

Yep...

...what money can do in this world, ha?

Is it just me or does it seem like Blu-ray 2.0 is just catching up to HD-DVD features?

For anyone who uses their ps3 to stream media (mp4 specifically) using a media server like TVersity then do not update to this firmware!! All of my MP4 films now stutter like a bad Norman Collier impression (look him up if you're under 30) and it seems to be a common issue! Well done Sony, not only can't you get it to play a lot of DivX stuff you've now managed to break one of the better PS3 functions! Absolute chowder heads.

Well, I enjoyed making fun of Sony. Actually I still do... But I went out and got the 80gb model, and find myself using it for a lot. Got it hooked to my projector. It's easy to share media to from my PC, connects to my wireless so i can play my movies and music on my surround. Plus downloading content to its drive is easy. Just downloaded pure pwnage to it to watch that series again. I do like my PS3, and Blu-Ray is amazing compared to a normal dvd. Honestly i see no need to ever buy a dvd again.

Nope, still not interested.
I paid big $$$ for an original PS2 (not on eBay or anything, just went to the store early to get one).
Even if I buy a HD television I don't think I'll buy Blu Ray either.
Not interested -- I think I outgrew that junk.
Besides, what's the next big thing? Maybe I'll buy one when it's obsolete, that seems to make the most sense. In the meantime I think I'll enjoy ignoring my old PS2.

Im glad everyone predicted the doom of PS3... looks like sony is doing a hell of a job to me!

Well I do all my own encoding, they all worked before and I'm using a wired connection! Take a look here http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=2620422&page=775 

You'll see there are many others with the same problem, now who looks like an idiot eh?

Maybe you should get some facts in your pea like excuse for a brain before you start sounding off? Just a thought..

Who cares if Blu Ray has just caught up to HD DVD? as long as it doesn't go the way of HD DVD, that's all that matters.
