yeah, i'm scratching my head a bit over all the "way to go!" comments. i'm not stoked at all at the prospect of upgrading for no core functionality improvements.

paid avatars? instead of uploading JPGs? two more redundant ways into the store? what boardroom committee caused this?

most of these "improvements" are up-selling and cross-selling us, advertising and directing us to the store, NOT improving our experience.

is firmware 3.5 going to consist of Little Big Planet 2.0 case stickers and a Sony store ad that pops up during games? blek.

Pad layout is the best yet, with much more realistic and usable hat/snare positions and easy to access controls. Nice job!

Apache and Blackfeet are in the game. Neither gambles or drinks excessively. Beat stereotypes without censoring depictions of history.
