If you read ToS there is small print on reserving the right to change blah blah blah, and reserving the right to change, PSN terms of service at will. In fact you have no right to PSN, Sony could remove service if they wanted to.
With the only real disadvantage being that you can't use PSN I don't see how Sony are liable. Besides independently you can still do everything as advertised. You can use linux, you can use PSN. Just not from the same HDD anymore, the console still supports other OS as stated only its most current version of firmware did not.
What about developers who drop support on online games even whilst they're being sold @ retail? (like Nascar 09)
I'm pretty sure if you looked into it further nothing they're doing is illegal. Plus not enough people care. I certainly don't.

Not true in the EU mate. EU law overides any TOS or EULA. I was sold a machine that played online games and was open platform. Sony are taking away the open platform part (which they said was ok here: http://www.playstation.com/ps3-openplatform/index.html )
EU law clealry states that:
"· be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase."
Well Sony have just broken that agreement and I want something in return.
I happy to have PS3 to not be open platform anymore to stamp out piracy, but I am not happy to have my rights pissed over.
I will be taking this to trading standards, but before I do I would like some voices behind me - Help me out http://usersvssony.blogspot.com/ - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110549712296723

It still does everything that was made known to the seller at time of purchase. Not in quite the same way, but your argument would never stand up in any form of legal case. Under Sonys terms of service they have the legal right to drop support for PSN, and change PSN at will, and that is all they have done. Your hardware has not been changed, you can still used it as stated.
Also, haven't all the OtherOS supporting PS3s been discontinued? This certainly won't help your case, lol.
