Did you buy it on its own merits? Or on promises of the future? If you bought it on its own merits, I would wager it's still a good product, unless Sony sent ninjas into your home to injure it.

I think it's funny when people think their gadget has "gotten worse" when a new iteration is released. Anyway, the most substantive update to the 650 that my eyes can see is the screen, which no firmware update could grant to the 600.

That said, not being able to justify text is admittedly pretty ridiculous. I can only guess/hope the reason they're not promising the "new" FW for the older units is because its incompatible, and they need to make a separate FW that contains a subset of the new features.
