I suppose it's not much of an issue now that all the remaining players have been sold through, but someone really should still test the beta software releases on a clean player for initial setup.

I'll do this on my backup and see if my brother wants to try it when he sets his up.

For no-hassle new-user usage though, I also recommend loading up with 1.03 and then upgrading. This was Tony's suggestion to me a little while back and it worked out very well.
