Did turn off autoplay, but autoplay is a nice feature I like to have. I just don't like to have it when I turn the system on. It's a preference and all it is and don't see why it's so hard to make that two separate options.

Instant autoplay wouldnt really work. You could exit your game/movie as many times as you want and it will constantly restart whenever the disc is read. The reason for this is that you would have to program it to disc read and unfortunately between leaving a game or movie the disc is re-read. Auto-start at boot is easy to setup because thats a basic OS function. What your talking about is something that would be as annoying to program as a PS2 emu that runs every PS2 game released to date.

Write to Sony about it. They actually do get a fair amount of their ideas for things to implement in the firmware updates from people who write in about some feature, or when there is simply enough people complaining about it (in-game XMB).
I believe you can find on the Playstation Blog an email address on how to suggest features to be implemented.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Think you misunderstood me. I want two options:
Autoplay when a disc is inserted: yes/no
Autoplay when system boots: yes/no
Both of those are already there but just placed into one option instead of two. There would be no new features, it's just turning one flag into two.
I'm not sure where you're getting the instant autoplay idea.

disc insert = disc read
disc read = auto play
It would be an infinite loop when it comes to exiting/starting disc.
This is why PC game discs with auto-starts built in will auto start whenever you open my computer. It is because your making your PC read whats in your drive. In the programming level it is activating on read or insert of data from disc.
With consoles they always have to know whats in the drive. Autoplay on start-up is a basic boot option for any system. It can be programmed to run start game mode once the system is fully booted by making it so that there is a signal that activated the process.
With a start on read you would basically forcing the start mode signal every read of the disc at OS boot.

I think you're really trying to make this too hard.
If both are off, no problem. This is already done.
If both are on, no problem. This is already done. When you start up the console, it starts up whatever is in the drive. When you insert a disc, it plays whatever that disc is. This would work exactly how autoplay is implemented now.
If autoplay on disc insert is on and the other is off. There would be no need to read the disc when the console starts up, it would only have to read the disc when a disc is inserted. It would just continue to ignore whatever is in the drive as if autoplay how it is currently implemented was off.
If autoplay on console start is on but autplay on disc insert is off. When the console boots up, it reads the disc as if current autoplay implementation was on. Nothing new. If a disc is inserted it does nothing as if current autoplay was shut off.
Since the autoplay feature is already there, it's an easy thing to implement because there are no new features to add, you just have to split them up. I really don't see why you think this is so hard since we can already turn this on and off.
