I hope they have it so you can set it to stop it to where it will automatically play whatever disc is in there when you start it up, I hate having to push the d-pad quickly to stop it from playing a disc!

There's a lot of things the PS3 needs as far as visual and organizational help.  I mean, when my friend goes to find music, he has to sift through all his music.  I know you can put the stuff in folders, but why can't it be organized a little better?  Videos too.  My friend has literally 30+ videos, and all are in alphabetical order, but he can't narrow down the search to something more specific.  I don't know, it just seems like it needs more polishing.

Oooh, and some custom backgrounds would be nice.

The PSN network is upheld by three different datacenters. One in the US, one in Europe and one in Japan. The load will be split between these datacenters so you US players won't be 'punished' by the EU launch.

3 million people isn't really that many - and it's not like they're all simultaneously going to be downloading the update. Plus, I think it's safe to assume Sony has multiple servers to cover Europe, US, and Japan.

I remember at launch, I had to udate my ps3. I think once the ps3 is pack up and ready to ship. There will be no turning back.
