only parts that worry me is the uncrypted nature of information being passed back to Sony and what exact details about my home wireless network and what it contains is being transmitted.

i.e. Do they take my network id/pw? files on my shared computers? etc.

Ya, thats a bit worrying. And they call piracy an issue. The fact at the beginning all this went to a server with an http address let alone now an https address is horrifyingly horrid security measures to say the least. I'd basically recommend anyone who owns a PS3 trade their crap in for a 360 or Wii knowing this information or remove all important data like CC details and all that off the PSN at minimum.

Why is that you do not trust HTTPS from PS3, but you trust it with the same CA for 360 and Wii? It is also likely that SONY uses a CA like Verisign which is a common choice among high profile companies and banks. I know that HTTPS isn't perfect but can you imagine the chaos if SONY tried to get PS3 users to use IPsec... (which is nightmare to setup outside of point to point connections)
