Once again people post ignorantly completely missing the point of why this was such a bad thing to happen. If you don't care about this issue thats fine but stop downplaying this issue for those who do care. The people running damage control are causing this issue to go on and on because of their poor attitude. |
What do you use it for anyway? You keep saying it's a big deal; I personally tried it out, but got rid of it in about a month. Not only is it super slow, but it's a pain to get everything working. Any computer nowadays would outperform PS3's linux.

To be honest it is indeed slow and its practicality has never been great (not many apps are written for PPC's obviously) but I cannot in good consience support any companies decision to shaft the consumer and blatantly breach their rights in order to look after themselves. If you think its fine for Sony to remove features that you paid for then thats fair enough, personally I think you're all stark raving bonkers putting some misguided concept of loyalty ahead of your rights as a consumer.

idk about you but i am looking after myself when i support sony, you have a machine that is capable of using a terabyte hard drive, if you mix in the factor that it was shown possible with the psp that you can reroute the games onto the harddrive, with some tuts a lot of people would buy the ps3 and just pirate games and save it to the hdd, then losing money publishers would stop making games for the ps3 and i would ultimately lose. it has happened with the psp, i missed out on a lot of good games because of the fact it was so easy to pirate on it, and sony is saving not only themselves but in the end ultimately the consumer

Just stop with the PSP will you please, the PSP has rubbish software thats why it doesn't sell, end of story. It was blatantly obvious from day one that people were making what were traditionally home console games for the PSP, rather than thinking about the habits and tastes of a mobile gamer in particular.
I fix PSP's at work and the number of units we get in that are hacked is easily sub 10%, the problem is blown out of proportion and used as an excuse for Sony not maximising the opportunity they had for the device. Isn't it the best selling non Nintendo handheld ever, it should have been given far more varied and suitable software support and that would have encouraged third parties to join in too.
I have a colleague I work with that came up with a point the other day. He had finsihed his quota of repairs for the day and decided to have 20 minutes gaming on a PSP, he asked the 3 off us near him what decent games there was for the PSP as everything he had played so far he didn't like. That is the problem, the device is better than the software available imo.
