Lol k you win,  your right you paid for something that had no effect on the price.

 

Anyways so where is this 3.21OO CFW?  DYA expected Geo to make a CFW and then find an exploit in the XMB to execute unsigned code to allow R+RW access to the nand !!

 

I doubt anything like that is "imminent"

It's not about the price or the feature in the sense that I want to a monetary refund.  It's the principle of a company removing a feature that was sold with a product, it sets a alarming precident and its madness people have just accepted this as being ok for people who care about consumer rights.  I understand if you don't want to care its just tiring hearing people constantly say "It doesn't matter, I didn't use it".  There is no "win" unless you understand now why it is an issue for me.

Just to highlight the bolded that this is another potential bonus of better understanding the FW, it could potentially open up the possibility of fixing some of the more obscure faults like the red error screen which could be nand related too.  If you can dump the nand and fix corrupted parts of it there is some potential to be able to fix these faults without having to pay the first party premium.

As you say, unless Geohot decides to make it a long term project I doubt we will see anything more than CFW for a long time.

 

It is an issue for you because you cling on to the bubble that you have this magical consumer's right that gives you protection to everything. When you buy an apartment with an ocean view, are you guaranteed that you will have this view forever? NO, a new high-rise would be built, blocking your view in the next 5-6 years.

Are you just pulling this out of your ass? You want to tell me that CFW can fix hardware fault problems? Where in the history of CFW and hacked console did these third party software managed to fix hardware fault problems?
