Like the OS was a very necessary feature for the 33m ppl who bought a ps3, now watch how ppl starts acting like the OS feature was a big deal when b4 they didn't even give a rats about the damn thing all to to have some negative for the big bad SONY.

Actually I think the opposite is true.

As I have always said I personally couldn't give a toss about this feature and so I dont care if they get rid of it.

Yes sony lied.. but so what?  They also lied when they said they had no plans for a Slim.  People didnt mind that lie. 

MS and Ninty lie too and  I just wish that people would accept that Sony are no better and no worse than any other company in this regard.

The sooner people accept that corporations dont give a crap about anything other than making a profit the better for all of us.

 

So it's all black or white? There are many degrees of lying, I don't recall MS or Nintendo disrespecting their customers as much as Sony has done in the recent past.

For example, I keep hearing stories about how Nintendo fixes consoles for free even after warranties are over. I'm not saying they do this out of pure altruism, clearly the end objective is to keep their brand well seen and thus generate profits. But in my book that is much better than just trying to extract as much money as possible in the short term and screwing customers by lying about features or inconveniencing their lives (as in the episode I mentioned earlier).
