The nagware line on the top right is going to get *extremely* annoying. Unlike the "what's new" option (which also does not seem behave as advertised) the new mini-nagware line is locked at being on. One would have thought that shoving the store icon every which place would have been enough up sell but no. . .
The friends list now looks awful with the extra background and no spacing between rows. Finally, for those of us in Canada we now have a dedicated icon for a store which when click tells us the store is unavailable in our region. Uh, thanks for rubbing it in Sony. Really, you couldn't just leave the icon off?
The only new "feature" (aka bug fix) I see is that you can see the clock and battery indicator at the same time except that is marred by the nagware aspect (and the scrolling mechanism stutters making it harder on the eyes).
The nagware thing is not enabled on my PS3. If you didn't have the ticker enabled, then that setting turns it off for 3.0 as well. At least, if that's what you mean, or do you mean the 'What's New' overview?
The new sound output is great. A regular stereo mp3 is now output by the PS3 to my amp in 176Hz 5.1 LPCM. By far my biggest disappointment with 3.0 so far however is that I can no longer listen to music while browsing. Really, really stupid, and I hope they bring that back soon.
You have to go to the Music Settings and change back to 48kHz (only) option. That allows for web browsing and music listening.The nagware thing is not enabled on my PS3.

Got it, thanks.
Did anyone see this? This is awesome. As soon as I get back home ... My son will go crazy.

Is the PSU really multi-voltage? There's no indication on the rear of my Slim and more than that, the manual says it's 220-240v on my PAL unit...
Not sure. I was wrong about the Bitstream option by the way, it is in fact also available on my old EU launch unit. So that's neat.
There should be something stamped on the plastic of the unit, near the power plug. Check on the underside.Is the PSU really multi-voltage? There's no indication on the rear of my Slim and more than that, the manual says it's 220-240v on my PAL unit...
