Yeah Firmware updates are one hell of an idea i mean Sony listens to what PS3 players wants then works hard to put them on the next firmware updates its happening with the PSP and im sure PS3 will follow.
I am sure once Home hits the PS3's this fall the service will keep on improving with time via Firmware updates too.
with every new firmware update it makes the PS3 value even higher i mean its now ah upscaling dvd player just watch Advent Children on your PS3 and its like HD or play GT4 or God of War ect.
its really amazing.
