		<description>Hey, I didn&#039;t know you had a PS3, ZZ! You must keep your gaming life private, behind closed doors, as it seduces you, flashing you...with its lights. ;)

Is it just me, or is it a little warm in here?

I also like that things are bigger and easier to see--we&#039;re using an HD screen in this house, but it&#039;s actually a small computer monitor that&#039;s not really big enough to be used as a gaming TV.

Our problems with connectivity are still going on, though. They didn&#039;t start until immediately after we updated, and things are still a bit wonky, though a bit better after some random tweaking on our end. Some people aren&#039;t reporting any problems at all, and others are reporting destabilized connections. Whatever&#039;s going on, I hope it&#039;s fixed soon!</description>

		<description>Hey Red,

I&#039;ll add a couple of things to note.  First I actually like all the XMB updates, but that might be cause I still have a rather small SD set. Stuff is much more visible now. That said on a bigger HD set, I didn&#039;t have a problem with the interface before. I suspect when I see it on the projector again I may find it bulky and would like to see it as an option in which one to use.

I kinda like the contextual store menu, saves me time, but that&#039;s just me.

AS for the network stuff, hopefully that will die down soon. I actually started noticing it before the 3.0 update hit (or at least before I applied it). The authentication servers have been acting hinky for about a week. I don&#039;t know if its the ps3 slims, or the 3.0 update but it seems to me that load ramped up on them a heck of a lot more than anyone expected. Which is to say, a lot more people are trying to log into the network than before...

Cheers</description>
