Bowspearer you've struck the nail on its head. All the Sony apologists here don't seem to get the point. It's not about how "popular" a feature is. It's simply about Sony removing an advertised feature from their product; a feature that may have been the motivating factor for a consumer purchasing their product (as was the case for you).
The PS3 unfortunately has a long history of losing features (just compare a 60 gig launch PS3 with the current slim versions), and prior to the release of the PS3 Slim, these losses were done without a commensurate price drop. This isn't the way to treat consumers. Unless you've been blinded by some misguided notion of brand name loyalty.
