Sony recently sent out a survey to Ratchet & Clank beta testers, and after a series of expected questions about the game, it moved on to more... interesting matters. One question asked users which feature they find to be of least value in the system, and can be eliminated. What?! There's absolutely no reason to get rid of any of PSP's features, even if they're sparingly used. I know I use every single feature listed in their survey, but the one I could probably live without would be the ability to view photos (but how will I add wallpapers to my system?).
Why would Sony ask such a terrifying question? Are future firmware upgrades taking up too much space? Maybe the functionality of the system has expanded beyond what the firmware internal memory is capable of holding. Let's hope not, because I want my PSP to do everything it possibly can.

Its to save RAM space, theyre getting cramped
why not use the MS stick as a RAM stick, give up some free partiotioning tools for eat, and use that?

I use the RSS feeds every day. Name another portable device other than a full laptop that you can use to automatically keep up to date with podcasts (both audio and video) while on the go.
If they remove RSS, as I know it will be listed as the least popular feature by many people. I am going to consider legal action against them. Many of us used these features as a means to justify our purchases, so to have them taken away would be a case of false advertising.
There is a potential Class-action lawsuit here, so I really believe it would be a very bad idea to pursue the idea of eliminating any of these.

If SONY finally added homebrew in the new firmware releases, then users would have all of the enlisted features on their PSPs by simply launching appropriate programs from memory sticks and the firmware would fit on the flash memory. Of course SONY would no longer care about all the software updates. In either way SONY is hurting not only the users, but also itself...

Sorry for my English. I meant "Needless to say" instead of "In either way" :(

"They should add not delete"
Hey idiots;
There's not enough room on the flash! The last update was 28 megs something which leaves 4 megs on the flash. That's barely enough. It's better to delete stuff few/no one uses to get room for better features.
