Is there anyway to change the font color for the PS3 menus? its hard to read with any pics in the background.. pain to read on black for that matter...

This is a complaint of mine also, you can only get away with very dark wallpapers.

Supposedly Sony is listening to emails sent into the playstation blog. Anything you'd like to see Id say send an email to them.
