I don't share your concerns about not having the power brick, the internal power brick is one of the reasons the ps3 is my favorite console since it's easily exchangeable between different rooms. I only need a standard power cable and hdmi cable in each location, no fumbling to get the power brick from behind the av cabinet and untangle the power cord.
You can get a standard USB extension cord to play while charging, for less then $5 for 10ft it is the easiest solution.
For downloads you can let the ps3 download and install them automatically while you sleep. Instead of using the ps3 controller to shut down the system, go all the way to the left on the xmb and choose turn off system. There you have the option to shut down after downloading (which will do the install as well)
And yes the only thing that got worse in the Playstation store is the free downloads. They used to be one click done, now it goes through the purchase process. It's also still missing is a wish list, but at least it has a cart instead of buying things one by one.
And yes get the flow/flowr/journey retail collection, that also includes another month of ps+ :)
