So which feature do you expect to be removed in the next revision MikeB that suddenly will not matter, the feature list is falling as quick as the price.

What do you mean? It matters to me.

But it does not matter as much to everyone. There are plenty of people on here claiming this had 0% value to them, not everyone has a real desire to look under the hood.

I think all the core technology is still there, like I stated in the past: Blu-Ray, Cell, default harddrive, gigabit ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi, etc. Never did I say OtherOS support is to be considered to be a core feature of the PS3. Playstation Home for example I consider far more a core feature for the long run.

To quote myself from VGChartz on 3 March 2008:

"Personally I think all the extras (Wi-Fi, Home, PlayTV, PS3 games, webbrowser, large harddrive, MP3/MPG4/DivX/etc media support, etc) will likely still allow the PS3 to have an edge for a long period of time with regard to educated consumers. A future $299 priced slimline PS3 will likely do wonders."

As you can see, when talking about consumer foccused features OtherOS support wasn't by far the first thing on my mind.

And I also think the feature set is expanding in other ways, like for example VidZone, Dynamic Themes, Photo Gallery, etc, etc.
