So I will be purchasing a TV and PS3 this friday and I have a few questions some of you have undoubtly already solved.

1. I will make sure my TV has HDMI CEC feature. With this in mind, is there any reason to buy the actual PS3 remote or keyboard attachment?
    - Multiple people have mentioned that I won't need the PS3 remote or keyboard so long as I do have a TV with the link/sync feature and I'm not a big online chatter. Thanks.

2. With the PS3 sync'd to a Windows 7 Homegroup are their any features or media types the PS3 simply won't read?
   - Multiple people have answered this with no issues, so cool thx.
   - Looks like I need to check out "ps3mediaserver" software.

3. Is the netflix video service worth it?
   - This is still a toss up. Any more opinions?

4. Can anyone tell me if the name 'SuperChunk' is taken for the psn? :)
  - I'm a sad panda as its taken. :( ah well, just have to figure out a altered version to use. (superchunk2010)

5. Is anyone else excited that this will be my first non-Nintendo related console ever?

EDIT: Just added some info due to responses.

EDIT: GOT MY TV TONIGHT!!!

Its an amazing Sony 46" kdl-46lv (costco model) for only $800. Got it all setup with the exception that the $7 amazon branded hdmi cables won't arrive until fri/sat so, its only showing off component cable tech. Bet it will be even better with the hdmi's and the ps3 that I will buy fri/sat. Can't wait to see a bluray movie and Assassin's Creed and/or some good demos from PSN.

Also, the Wii still looks ok mostly. Need to pickup the component cables for it tomorrow as well so I can get at least 480p. Big difference in how it looked on my 32SDtv to this 46HDtv.

EDIT!!!!

Finaly post. I now have my PS3 (250GB). Bought Assassin's Creed for $20. :)
