| NJ5 said: I get your point that Sony can hide behind some technicalities, but technicalities don't always put you in the clear in legal terms. Reasonable expectation would be that when one buys a product, one expects it to keep having the features that were advertised. Breaking this expectation without an extraordinary reason seems shady, that's all.

The electronic product you bought for Linux, games X and Z, BluRay movies A and B will keep working exactly as before with that content. "Forward compatibility" is a desirable quality, grants value to the console, and will have its repercussions on a minority of tech-savy users.
But I don't think any national legislation delves into the murky waters of trying to state how much compatibility should an hardware/software device provide when it comes to future content and services.
