Lie Definition

1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.

2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.

 

I don't think they did either. They obviously wanted to keep the "other OS" on the original PS3's because they would have just removed it at the time of the Slim launch. Their hand was forced, the PS3 is the most secure console this generation and the PSP is the most hacked.

There is no way they will let the PS3 become like the PSP hence the removal of Linux support, is it pre-mature? Of course but they want to nip this in the bud asap.
