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 forget the exact number. They updated the firmware a few days ago, and I'm on whatever version came just before that. (I haven't used my PS3 in a couple weeks.)

Do they just collect usage data on PSN media, or all media? I wouldn't think they would care much about music and videos I copy over from a thumb drive.
