Will PlayStation 3 enthusiasts find a revamped version of the game console under the tree this holiday season?
Sony is reportedly readying a complete overhaul of the PS3, which will be released later this year, according to VG247.
The site's sources likened the overhaul to last year's New Xbox Experience (NXE), a revamped Xbox that includes streaming HD movies from Netflix, an updated dashboard, and movie and game purchases via Xbox.com.
What will the updated PS3 include? VG247 pointed to several possible new features:
- A system for players to evaluate one another
- Ability to report questionable behavior to Sony by taking screen shots
- Patches will download in the background so gaming can continue uninteruppted
- Simultaneous HDMI and digital optical outputting

I think this is great. MS was able to excite its fans by revamping with software(NXE) and it's great that Sony is doing the same thing. I am looking forward to the advances that software can provide.

This new device has great features, so Sony will be leading again especially with Play Station 3.

I Wonder how much one would be without the crap most people don't use?

I think it's great what Sony is doing, and remember Sony is FREE and does not charge any money to use it's online service.
I am so pissed at Micro$oft, I'm on my 3rd and possibly last X-Box 360 due to the red ring of death while I've had the same PS3 for over 2 years.

I am also on my third 360. But, in all fairness, I have to say that my PS3 doesn't get nearly the kind of milage my 360 does. The 360 is just a better user experience. Also, I woudn't mind if Sony charged for their service if it would speed up development! Right now it(development) is slow as molasses!
