As far as someone asking for a firmware upgrade, I say, PLEASE DON'T! The last time Sony did any upgrades it screwed up everyone. My 505 is working fine, thank you very much...don't mess with it! It works so well that I bought a 300 for my teenager.

I'm part of the 1% on cnet too!

Troll, Away! We Sony-owners are just happy as clams, and are busy READING.
