I say the new Ps3 firmware comes with playlist for mp3 and photo (after 1 year) and even then this features are poorly implemented.  Songs can only be added to a  playlist if it is on the PS3 internal HDD and not on any other external HDD.  Yet the PS3 only have limited storage!!!

Sony has claim that the PS3 is great multimedia machine that can play movies, mp3 and photo but to use all this features is a pain in the ass eg. no playlist for mp3 until now but I still cannot utilise this features because I have all my MP3(lots of it) in my 250 gigs external HDD.  So that mean i have to move it to the Ps3 internal HDD which is almost fully taken up by games.

I have lots of video but i can only play them 1 by 1 manually.  Why can't I just play them all sequentially with having to manually play each of them?

To me Sony screw up so much on the PS3 that they fully deserve to be in the last position on the console war which they are comfortably in right now.
