After reading everything carefully, I come to a conclusion that people who wants them to lose are most likely those who pirate games. Or hoping to make it rich.

Personally, I don't see what the fuss is about. I'm trying very hard to understand the need for other OS function. I don't need it to play games. I have a pc, laptop and I still don't use Linux etc. This is my personal opinion, and I believe only a small minority of people want other os.

 

Thats definetly a wrong conclusion. I have never pirated once in my life.

 

 

Again: Its not about the feature itself like I said before. It violates the Guarantee. Thats all. I doubt that a lot of people who want to pirate buy a PS3. 

 

Pirates buy Xbox360,PSP and Wii.

Ps3 is known as unpirateable. Its somekind of hacked but thats it.

 

Just read in the web the people are upset because they get punished even though they havent made anything wrong. Some people use it for encoding videofiles and this works pretty good due to Cell even in 1080p. The Cell CPU is still poweful. Other people just use it as a multimedia server which plays all codecs and PS3 games. Just because you cant use it doesnt mean other people wont use it. You think all people on the planet are like you and the ones who are upset about the removal of Linux are lying they dont care either they just want to pirate ? Its wrong to think: What the hell are they doing with Linux I cant use it for nothing so its pretty much absolutely useless ? Especially in the beginnig of PS3s life they advertised it as a Multimedia center which is able to do even more then other consoles due to linux. And not everyone has a good PC. You wont believe it but some people USE their PS3 as a PC. They print stuff buy a bluetooth keyboard and sit on the couch chatting on ICQ surf in the web and from time to time they switch over to PS3 OS to play some MW2 or watch a blueray. I know people like that.

 

Its no wonder you dont know such people if 1% (340000 people) PS3 owners do that then for every 99 PS3s there is one with Linux on it. Just because you cant see it or doesnt understand it, it doesnt mean it isnt there or is unimportant. 

 

Even with Linux I doubt that hackers will succeed like on other platforms. It takes tons of work from not just one peson and a lot of time. I dont believe that the hacker scene has the discipline and the organization to make it happen. Maybe now because of the upset linux community. 

 

 

I said "are mostly likely to pirate games"

Read carefully what I said there. I'm not singling anyone out like you are doing.

 

I understand why you feel that way through. You're part of the.... small minority.

the number of people that used it is irrelevent, even if there were many who were hoping to pirate it is irrelevent.  There are a few people that argue against it because they use linux, but most people are against it because it violates their consumer rights.  Yea it's all nice and fine when you aren't part of the small minority, but some day you will be part of a small minority who has his rights violated.

 

You'd be surprised.
