Inside the G.A.P: Future Update Requests

Tipster MACaronits sent me an e-mail today informing me about a post within the G.A.P. about future PLAYSTATION 3 update requests. It's well put together and it deserves a good reading. He tells me that most of the 60 something comments were positive and only a tiny few were from "fanboys". Anyway, for the post:

As Sony said they love listening to feedback, I see no reason to not post this. This is what the users really want in the next updates:

1) In-Game XMB, allowing us to do the below and much more.
1a) Play Custom Soundtrack for games.
1b) Access Friends List, Game Invites, Messages
1c) Under [Photo], they can add [Take Snapshot]
1d) Under [Video], they can add [Record Gameplay].
1e) View your active downloads, pause, and resume them.
1f) So many possibilities with in-game XMB.

2) Game Invites, allowing us to send eachother game invites cross game.
2a) Implement This Feature

3) Profile 2.0, meaning, we want things like Entitlements, Gamertags, things to display who we actually are. Our profiles suck so far. It shows our languages and an about me that nobody ever fills out.

4) REMOVED DUE TO FINDINGS IN 2.00

5) Remove friends, put it under PLAYSTATION Network.
5a) Allow us to change the icon for the PLAYSTATION Network, right now, it doesn't seem like you can.
5b) Add Entitlements, IM, and Game Invites under PLAYSTATION Network.

6) Password protect user accounts.

7) Add video support for WMV and AVI type files.

8.) Replace the PLAYSTATION Store with a new built in program that is not a web page. Like that, when you have to add new stuff, you just drop it in and it will organize and categorize itself.
8b) Give us a constant flow of updates for the PLAYSTATION Store, meaning daily videos, content. Basically, make us on par with Xbox Live.
8c) For every downloadable game, include a demo. Don't put it under the Demos section. Make it so when you click the game it will show the demo and full game.
8d) ORGANIZATION! Make it so you can go to like Game Demos -> New Additions, Genres, Featured, All Demos (alphabetical). Same with add on content. Instead of having it all layed out like that, go to Games -> Downloadable Content -> Game Name -> Select Content.
8e) I've recently noticed you delete old game videos. Don't do that, keeping it will an archive.

9) Let us set our own PLAYSTATION Network images, or add a batch every week based on the newest released games and even Sony movies.

A lot of people say these things are going to come with HOME, but do you really want to go into HOME everytime you want to invite someone to a game or do something listed above?

HOME is a great feature, but it may not be someone's thing, and they prefer it the nice 2D style.
Thank You.

Tell us what you think. I myself think it's a great list of features which will hopefully come within updates and the PLAYSTATION 3 has the power to do all of this.
