Well the word on the web is that the next update will have the long awaited in game XMB enhancment. So messaging, custom music etc. should be possible from in game. Still no firm date on PS Home as its still "Just around the corner".

Looking forwards to purchasing a PlayTV which apperently will be availble from the end of March. Wish they'd fix the MPEG2 TS UPNP streaming problem they introduced in the V2.10 release or at least allow Firmware downgrades!!

Anyone else got any features they would like to see coming in the next update?

I wouldn't take the word on the web as being true to much, they said the same thing about the 2.0 firmware and it didn't happen.

I'd like the Internet Radio option they put in the PSP firmware. That would be handy.... But of course, the best of all possible features would have to be that god damn IN GAME XMB!

PlayTV is like a PVR for your PS3. It's a little box you attach via USB... It's in Europe only... I wish it came to North America...

Here's a clip.... very cool...

I would like to put the following thins in the next firmware update:

1. Internet Radio (like PSP)

2. In game XMB (or, at least, a mini-XMB with music and messaging options)

3. Sound Equalizer

4. Play Lists for Video (I have tons of videos... That would make my PS3 a virtual TV station)

5. Add an "Order by ARTIST and then BY ALBUM" on music, so I can see a main list with all my artists and, when I open one of them, I see all the albums I have from them, so I can enter to find my song.

6. PlayStation Home

I don't think options 1, 3, 4 and 5 are difficult to implement. They must do it. Then, if they have time, put option 2 and 6 into the mix.

Hugs.

Version 2.XX series of firmware has support for in game XMB I believe Sony said before, so we will hopefully see it soon. As for Home - they are having a big testing night to help start stress testing their latest version of the Home software development kit.
