@ fordy: why? Because it's the lock (in this case OtherOS) that's causing the possible problem...



And what other people have said in the other thread: once Sony sells the hardware, they shouldn't be able to alter it.

So why is it that people complain if a company doesn't rectify one harmful situation and complain again when the company rectifies another harmful situation?


Because OtherOS is a feature. It's like saying that the car stereo has potential to interfere with the RF that unlocks the cars, so would you remove the car stereo altogether, or fix it so it does not cause the problem.

OtherOS could have easily been isolated into a Virtual environment, where it is limited to a small section of the PS3s memory, even if stack overflows are exploited.
