I love the RSS feature. There a ton of good video podcasts that I enjoy watching at work.

You should try sending an email to Sony customer service. Tell them that you missed the deadline because you just bought the NW-HD1. They might give you the FW upgrade albeit for a slight cost.

I managed to get a hold of a PS3 and I must say it is worth every penny. The quality of the video and audio on it is amazing. It can rip your CD's to ATRAC, MP3 or even AAC. I plugged my NW-HD1 into the USB port and all of my music instantly appeared, cover art and all. You can even transfer tracks from the PS3's HDD straight to the Walkman! No need for SonicStage at all! And since the PS3 goes online as soon as you insert the CD and fetches the atist\album info you can keep your music organized. Not to mention playback of my ATRAC files through the PS3 (which is connected via optical cable to my 5.1 surround home theatre) is exquisite. It also supports SACD's but I don't have any to try out. As far as the games go, as of right now, Resistance: Fall of Man is a no-brainer. I also picked up Fight Night just to have something that the boys can play when we are al hanging out having some beers. Other than that, the library isn't going to get any better til the PS3 hits Europe in March. A real cool bonus is that it plays all of my PS2 games wirelessly (60GB model only).One of the reasons why I hardly ever went online with the PS2 was that I had to drag a wire 30 feet from my router to the PS2. Now with the PS3's WiFi and backwards compatibility, I can revisit a ton of my old games. I am really happy with what Sony has accomplished. Time will prove that Sony was thinking ahead into the future with the PS3.

Has anyone played Vaioware? Its a really cool game in the vein of Warioware. I can't quite figure out the point of some of the mini games (like the one where you pick the crook out of the lineup, WTF?) but it sure makes time fly when I'm at work. Post your highscores or help me figure out what the hell you're supposed to do on some of these.

Thanks for the info. I was just thinking that since I bought the album from Sony, the music would be encoded to take advantage of Atrac's capabilities. No big deal though. I'm sure if I ripped it straight from CD it would sound gapless.

I just bought the new My Chemical Romance album from the Connect music store and the first song leads right into the second song. A perfect example for gapless playback. But there is a tiny gap in the audio both in SonicStage 4 and in my HD1 player. Is Sony not ripping from the source? Or do I have to enable gapless in the menu? I'm a bit confused...
