Also, I don't see how it could have been in one of SCE's "It can only do everything commercials" considering that the ad campaign you're referencing didn't start until well AFTER the PS3 slim was released, which as everyone knows, never supported Other OS. And no, if it was a legal issue that they were found liable for, they would restore an "otherOS" support of their choosing because once again, Linux support was never explicitly advertised nor included in the feature set. What Phil Harrison said is completely irrelevant; plenty of inane things were said by SCE in regards to the PS3 launch that have zero bearing on legal liability. Do we need a chart to make the whole updated firmware concept easier to understand? Older firmware uses more system RAM. Older games have less system RAM available to run. Newer firmware uses less system RAM. Newer games written to run on newer firmware may use that now unallocated system RAM to run optimally, or in some cases run at all as they won't run with less system RAM. This is just one of many reasons for updated firmware and the reason why any game requiring updated firmware (whether it's to make use of freed up system RAM, security measures, whatever; it's irrelevant so long as it runs) would have the updater on the game disk. Nobody's liable because an end user can't run new software on an older version of a no longer supported (any previous firmware) version of the OS. Disagree? Then reference a case that shows how any new software written for Windows or Mac OS for example, must run on any previous version of an operating system with the idea that Microsoft or Apple is legally liable if it doesn't. |
It is entirely possible that it was photoshopped I suppose. I remembered seeing it once long ago and never seeing it again

Then you would still be running a Sony OS... OtherOS is awesome. There are several different ones to choose from. When the president or whatever Harrison is goes on and makes a huge fuss about a feature in order to get people to buy it? Guess what that is? An advertisement :o
Because it's so early I'm not even wure what we are arguing about here.. I'll get back to it after school...
Sig thanks to Saber! :D
