PS3 becomes an even better media center (that can play absolutely any format) if you use Linux instead of PS3 Media Server. You can run emulators on PS3 using Linux and play them on your TV. With Linux, you can use Firefox on your PS3.

While you're absolutely correct, my point was that a 'regular user' would never had used this feature in the first place. Only the core of the core and/or hackers would use this feature.

Those are far less than the 'average user'. Sony should never have even added this capability.

yup, that pretty much sums it up. they made a stupid decision to add this (to attract a few more buyers?).

anyways i dunno all that much about this but i heard that geohot posted online that he could hack the ps3 or wtv using another os. The guy is a loser, he tries to make himself seem like the good guy in all this, like he's an innocent bystander and big evil sony has now punished all of us for one tiny little thing he did.

fact is, like its been said, sony made a stupid booboo in basically putting a feature that attracts hackers like shit attracts flies. BUT this is definitely not a pill they (are more importantly the devs) gotta swallow here. they have every right to do this and fact is the blame lies in geohot for pinning sony in a corner.
