I believe this would be an amazing feature.

Having the ability to take pictures and have them sent straight to your HDD. Whenever you would tap the PS button it would take a picture of everything that was shown up on the screen when you pressed that button, then direct the picture to your HDD. They could also add an option to disable this if it was an annoyance to some people, and have the ability to turn on a pop-up that would ask you "are you sure you want to take this picture".

Then, perhaps Sony would make a image hosting site just for PS3 saved images. So you could upload them onto a site from your PS3, and pick them off from your PC. Thoughts? Any comment/criticism is much appreciated.

Sounds pretty good. But I get the feeling a lot of people would abuse this feature if they were running ... umm ... adult-style video material on their PS3's.

That image hosting site would need to be closely monitored.

Well, it would only be allowed when you are playing games. Since you have to hold the PS button down while playing games to get the quit the game menu up (so they could make it so you would only have to tap the PS button to take the picture, since you have to hold it to get the menu). But when your at your XMB you only have to tap it to get the menu up.

When I got my ps3, I was looking around to see if there was a way to take a screenshot. I would like to be able to take screenshots in and out of game.

Anyway, I think that is great.

When I shoot someone in the head it is usually unplanned so I would never get any cool pictures.

Pretty cool idea, I would be nice to be able to screen cap, or even record video on there, it would make it a lot easier to share with the PS3 community and I think that is always a good thing! I really wish it had this feature now...

I agree, it would be a fun feature to use.

I always do it when I'm on a computer, very useful.

I pause the game and use my cell phone to take a pic in Motorstom; so it would be nice to have that built-in. All we need now is someone at Sony to read this thread and make it happen :!
