I'm guessing if you have multiple PS3s in the house and want to share media between them? I don't know, in this case having a DLNA server that both of them feed off of would make more sense to begin with. Game saves? Many times they are locked to the console anyway, and are small enough to throw on memory cards/usb sticks in a couple of seconds.
For me the killer features would be:
1) Better organization for media, making slapping a large HDD into the PS3 and using it to store all of the media instead of relying on an external DLNA server to try to organize it. Search feature for media by tag/filename info.
2) Allow PS3 to act as a DLNA server, useful in above scenario where you want your media stored on board.
3) Allow selective backup - big problem when you store all of your media on PS3 harddrive the backup feature insists on backing up all of your hundreds of gigs of media too when all you're interested in is preserving your OS/Saves/Etc.
Some really good ideas man; would make PS3 the central media hub. I would drop a huge HDD in there and attach a USB 1TB if PS3 had these features plus full MKV support.
