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.

except the online function is a function that requires additional components and agreements -- you still have to agree to specific terms to use it and if you don't you choose not to access it.  the option isn't a feature Sony has to provide free of regulations as you are dishonestly attempting to portray it as.  by your logic, I can sue Sony if I don't have an internet connection because the system says I can play online but does not state on the package that I have to provide an additional component to do so  -- my own internet connection. 

online play is clearly provided as an optional feature that requires additional acceptance on your part, and now you want to attempt to claim you have no obligation to accept additional requirements to utilize it.  you haven't thought your position out very thoroughly if that is a vital aspect of your argument. 

No, becuase it does say broadband internet required for online actions actually.

Look at it the other way, Sony don't have to right to take away something they sold to you.  Becuase using your threoy Sony could disable your PS3 from playing Blu-Ray disc's (they never would do that) even though you brought a the PS3 as a Blu Ray player.  I have a PS3 as an Open Platform machine as it was advertised, now through no fault of my own I am lossing what I paid for.

Its against the law in the EU, simply as that.
