You can tell there's a lot of "design by fiat" going on at Sony.
One one hand, the interface on the Playstation devices looks slick and elegant.
On the other, you have to deal with these really bone-headed decisions scattered all over the place, some of which you already mentioned, that just ruin the experience.
And this goes beyond just the interface. Sony may have brilliant engineers, but you can tell it's a dictatorship - and The Man, while he may be a good general-purpose businessperson, is pretty dumb in other ways.

Sony may have brilliant engineers, but you can tell it's a dictatorship - and The Man, while he may be a good general-purpose businessperson, is pretty dumb in other ways. After this and the entire GeoHotz fiasco, I actually have the opposite opinion. Sony has some pretty brilliant designers-the UI and device styling is quite nice. Their engineers, on the other hand, seem to keep on making pretty stupid decisions that make actually using the device difficult to use.
