I'm amazed that Sony have been so accommodating to early adopters, I've never heard of any other electronics company offering a free upgrade for a 3 year old piece of kit.

This ain't no charity gig. They are worried that their main source of revenue, ie the book store, will be damaged by them not updating.
Where was the updates when they didn't have something to sell us? Where was the collections support? Will they now offer us a decent firmware with collections et al? I'm guessing not, just the format that keeps the money coming in.
Personally I think it's terrible the way they dropped the 500 when the 505 came out, and this is more of a kick in the nuts for those of us outside the US.
