Everything seems nice so far. MKV support would make me one happy guy.

Safe Mode ? Awesome. That should basically be a fail safe. Like windows. If your ps3 crashes because of a error in firmware or whatever.. the issues with some ps3s crashing up until now after a firmware update.. That should be the solution. Epic.

Can't they just make good firmware that doesn't crash instead?

Even a simple Windows Update to update a certification in the OS can cause Windows to crash and burn. Its a matter of the quality of the download. You can download and update but if the servers are being attacked for massive bandwidth there ism no guaranty that you downloaded the complete file causing issues after install.

Most update issues isnt due to the programming rather the internet which it came from.

As for the other features, they are interesting. I'll explain what the Blu-ray theme thing is really quick.

When you go to the game section you know how the background of the XMB changes when some games are highlighted. This is the same thing but for movies. Say you highlight The Dark Knight the background would change to an image of the Joker.

If they are using checksums, there should be next to no probability of that happening.
