WOW! What an update!! I can see they've been hard at work and put EVERYTHING people wanted in one tiny package. I'm sure it's not a small update but you get my point. I'm so glad they got more visualizers finally. I doubt I'll be able to remember all this stuff to check it out when it gets here. GO SONY!

I would like to think so but I'll take the 'wait and see' approach seeing as this all started with the 'Terms of Service' agreement. If something happens Oct 30th, great, if not, won't be disappointed. I can already see it now, if nothing happens the 30th, there is going to be b****ing of unknown proportions.

We all know this is just a rumour that probably won't happen..so you really shouldn't have posted anything until it was confirmed !! It will just fuel the hype up for yet another massive crash !!
