Oh you are misunderstanding me, I'm not talking about blame at all, blame doesn't even matter here. It all comes down to the law. I'll lay it out as simply as possible.

Sony advertised a set of features. Now, they have removed one of those advertised features. This constitutes false advertising, since said feature is no longer included. Terms of Service or other such contracts cannot pardon this.

I don't care who's to blame, I care about the legality behind Sony's actions, as should you, since this thread is about law not blame, specifically EU law, but we've been talking pretty broadly about the laws behind this anyways. It may be hackers' fault, but they aren't the one pulling the bait and switch.

 

it's your choice if you want to remove it. you can still keep Linux. Sony told people what would happen if you decide to Keep Linux. you and many claim it's not a choice, it sure is.IF you want to keep Linux nothing is stopping you.

how is it false advertising. if you keep it you still have the Feature.

can you keep Linux? yes

but there now will be a Draw back if you want to keep it.

they have not removed it. it's your choice to remove it or not. so Sony did not take it away from you. you have to make a choice HOW IMPORTANT IS Linux to you?

 

So you have 2 choices to choose between, or if you will, 2 PS3s to choose between. Both of them have most of the same stuff but one of them:

Has Other Os support

The other:

Won't have any issues with newer games requiring newer firmware

Won't have any issues playing newer movies requiring newer firmware

Can connect to PSN

 

So forgetting the newer games/movies thing which is bad enough, you can choose between Other OS or PSN, you can't have both. The PS3 that was advertised no longer exists, I have to choose between 2 sub-PS3s.

Why are you guys saying it's optional? Every site and article I check say it's mandatory? Or is this the same as what I said towards letsdance, where, in essence, everything you do is optional.
