It's a really nice idea, but I just don't see Sony giving up a far more profitable CD-run ( ie. games ), for a short run of our cd's. Apart from that, who decides what goes onto the cd, and would there be enough to fill the cd sufficiently. It looks like we'll still be only able to show our stuff on video or captured segments. The other stuff ( rumble, multi-tap functions), isn't a financial risk or a time-consuming exercise for Sony to make available to us, so why not? I'm sure information/data could be made available to us on the frequently-updated home site ;-) Stuart.
