I'm not going to reward Sony for prioritizing the shameless commercial offerings over adding value to the original firmware like they promised. Still don't have a scheduler for downloads, a movie service, lost linux, no screenshot tool, music playback, voice messages, cross game chat, more hd status messages, less switching to read messages, no threading for messages, no new codecs, etc, etc. So no psn+ for me.
The new video editing program that came with the last firmware is nice, though. Actually is very good - apart from that it only outputs in 480p and a particular bitrate. Even if your source file had lower resolution and different compression.. Which could create a stuttering smear all over the screen if you're lucky. But apart from that it's excellent. And easy to use, whether it's for cutting out sequences, changing the music on the clip, the speed, splicing different movies - and then uploading the thing to facebook or youtube afterwards.
But - most notably, the update comes with an almost unseen floating on the active PSN store buttons. A lot of effort went into this, and it shows. Smoother surfaces on remarkably slowly floating buttons have never been seen. Congratulations, Sony! Best buttons in the history of consoles!
Ah, yes, I remember why I love Sony so much now.
