Ok people that say there is not a case here are wrong. When I brought the machine, it was advertised as a machine that included online gaming and open platform. Both are STILL on there website, I don't need to point out online gaming as a feature but heres the open platform part:
http://www.playstation.com/ps3-openplatform/index.html
If I lose either one of those things then Sony has broken an EU law which is:

· be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase.

Now EU law overides any companys TOS or EULA, so thats is that argument out the window.
I use linux (Ubuntu) on my PS3, but I'm a fair man. I'll let Sony take it away to keep the PS3 piracy free.
But I want something back, all Fat owners have been robbed otherwise. I paid for this feature, by law you can't take it way.
Now I don't need a good lawer, becuase in the UK we have a thing called Trading Standards (and watchdog) which do these things for you.
If you think what I'm saying is correct and fair, then join my facebook group about it so I can have a few voices behind me before I take it has far as trading Standards.

at the time of purchase your playstation was still working as advertised, and you will still be able to play all the games avaliable at the time of purchase and released up until now AND use the other OS Feature if you choose not to upgrade.

 

So, what you want is free continued support for a discontinued Product (the Phat) AND compensation for a Feature that is not avaliable any more if you buy a new Playstation (the slim)?

 

makes sense to me!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
