Once again people post ignorantly completely missing the point of why this was such a bad thing to happen. If you don't care about this issue thats fine but stop downplaying this issue for those who do care. The people running damage control are causing this issue to go on and on because of their poor attitude.

What do you use it for anyway? You keep saying it's a big deal; I personally tried it out, but got rid of it in about a month. Not only is it super slow, but it's a pain to get everything working. Any computer nowadays would outperform PS3's linux.

 

To be honest it is indeed slow and its practicality has never been great (not many apps are written for PPC's obviously) but I cannot in good consience support any companies decision to shaft the consumer and blatantly breach their rights in order to look after themselves.  If you think its fine for Sony to remove features that you paid for then thats fair enough, personally I think you're all stark raving bonkers putting some misguided concept of loyalty ahead of your rights as a consumer.

idk about you but i am looking after myself when i support sony, you have a machine that is capable of using a terabyte hard drive, if you mix in the factor that it was shown possible with the psp that you can reroute the games onto the harddrive, with some tuts a lot of people would buy the ps3 and just pirate games and save it to the hdd, then losing money publishers would stop making games for the ps3 and i would ultimately lose. it has happened with the psp, i missed out on a lot of good games because of the fact it was so easy to pirate on it, and sony is saving not only themselves but in the end ultimately the consumer
