I?m gonna take a stab at steering things back on topic. Sony really pisses me off sometimes. They pull hardcore bait and switch on you. They publicize features, then later take them away right before it is released. The biggest example of this, is when they took pre-orders for the HDD. They had previously said it would have many other features, the main one being MP3 playback. They made no effort inform people that this was not going to be a feature of the HDD, or of any of the removed functionality for that matter before pre-orders started. Point is, what could they take away with out saying this time? They have already started, who is to say they won?t remove something more important next? I mean, I did think this is a weak feature anyway, but why brag about it then cut it a month later, if not to make you press conference have more of an impact?
