what SONY just did seems to be a very MS like move...

Doesnt this affect FOLDING@home? And what the hell is up with SONY removing features as time moves on.. Media slots, Hardware PSone/2BC, software PS2/one BC and now the "other OS" feature. I can understand them removing this features from the SLIM's from the word go.. but to go on an onslaught against the "phats" is just plain stupid.

You dont wanna piss of hardcore gamers/hackers SONY.. you dont..

Real BAD PR move here..

Folding@home is fine, as PS1 BC.

Admit it. You don't really know what you're talking about here.

He's raging against something he neither owns, nor uses.

The vast majority of PS3 owners weren't even aware that they could run Linux on their console. The vast majority of those who were aware, including the most hardcore gamers, didn't care.

It's best described as that neat little but least used feature nobody bothered with.

The only people who are upset are either the handful of people using their console as a cheap Linux based media server (can't play PS3 games while using it for this), or the homebrew/hardware cracking community, which is even smaller.

And then we have those who not only don't own a PS3, but never had any intention of buying one and are now claiming that this is a dealbreaker that will keep them from going out and buying as used PS3. "Now I'm not buying a used PS3!"

I'm pretty sure no one cares about the opinions of those in the last category.
