Chinese English? Well, I agree with a lot of what you said. I'd also prefer a new update to fix the 'stretched out' image on a normal 4:3 TV (it does this to me as well). I hate having to use Screen Mode 3 all of the time if I wanna see anything that's cut off in Mode 2. Plus the graphics are better in Mode 3, so there should be a new filter or something for Modes 0 to 2. Mode 3's the only one where this current filter actually works.
Remembering the user's options is also a good idea, as it does get tiresome to keep having to change the same settings over and over again.
I do definitely agree with FuSa working with the XMB as well. If a hack in the 'normal TV lockout' Sony has works though, I'd take that over FuSa. FuSa is good right now, but it could be better.
