The other thing to consider here is this. On the 1st of March, 3 days before we bought our PS3, I spoke to Sony Customer service who advised me that as long as I didn't get a slim, I'd have the other OS functionality. No mention was made of the plan to phase it out whatsoever.
With this update happening less than a 4 weeks after I purchased my console, I'm pretty sure this would be legally classed in my case as at the very least, a lack of disclosure and at most, a blatant bait and switch- both of which are illegal under Australian consumer protection laws.
