Excellents is expected.. I beleive that Sony again set the standard in very High qaulity, performence and reliablity. I think the engineers need to simplify there product and make it adaptable to current and future entertaiment markets. To be more specific ISP's like Dish, att, comcast are starting to venture in on demand media through the internet. This is where the bar can raise to work in concert with such inovations as having easy to access short cuts to ISP's on demand products and standardize such featurs that Sony can benefit from.
