The only new feature that get me thinking about upgrading is the ability of excel to handle a bigger spreadsheet size (32k x 1M). I work mostly with big database. I know that many other programs are better but sometimes when you want to just take a quick work, excel is still the way to go.
I don't understand why MS just include this feature while spreadsheet in Linux been able to do it long time ago (and we have been using 32-bit machine for a very long time (about to have more use of 64-bit) Rant over!!
I will wait and see if it worth it.
I think we sometimes forget that the $600 on the RETAIL is not what SONY really get per UNIT sold (retailer margin, Handling cost, etc.). And in EU, they pay more tax than in US. So, I am pretty sure that the loss per console sold is not that much different between region.
