I hope this isn't in the wrong place.


I can get a touch paranoid, I admit. But I'm wondering if the PS3 "phones home" with any info regarding the media I play on the system, whether it be metadata or file names from images, music, or videos? I don't like the idea of anyone gathering info on personal photos, the type of music I like, or even television shows I downloaded because the series isn't out on DVD. I only skimmed Sony's privacy policy, and I didn't catch any mention of the system sending this data to Sony, but like I said I can get paranoid. o_o

I'm having no luck with Google. What sort of info do the PS3 logs keep about non-DRM media? Like stuff I buy or download via my computer but transfer over to the PS3. Does it only keep the file name, or does it keep logs of meta data and file tags (like ID3 tags for MP3 files)? Or does it even care to keep a log of non-DRM media? (Media being anything other than games, of course.)
