Uh, no it doesn't.... it doesn't change anything.

Any game MAY require the update... including the Sony ones.

This is true if Sony does plan to require 3.21...since other games MAY or MAY NOT.

"Any game MAY require the udpate" is false if sony does plan to require 3.21.

Since said Sony games will not require it.

It's the same as the above snickers reference.

The ONLY reason they stated they couldn't answer my question was that it was up to each publisher individually.  In otherwords.  We are requiring it, but we can't be sure every other publisher will also require it.


Otherwise they would of said "We aren't sure if we are going to require it for future games, additionally all publishers get to choose."

You are amazingly stubborn, you know that? How do you know that they might be undecided about the issue? How do you know that the future titles they are talking about that MAY require 3.21+ aren't just the titles that will require 3D or Move?

I use this "may" / I don't know thing on my friends and family all the time. "Are you coming home tonight?". Answer: "I don't know". That means, I am UNDECIDED. I might come home, I might not. I haven't planned anything yet, it is simply UNDECIDED or UNCERTAIN. Something might come up, I might pass out at a friends house even though I PLANNED on going home tonight. So that Snickers thing you're writing is nothing but crap. At the last 5 minutes of work I might think "You know, that Snickers bar Kasz talked about earlier has been on my mind all day. I know I said I DIDN't KNOW but I want one anyways" or simply saying "I don't know" means, "I don't know, I am undecided about the issue. I might eat one, I might not. I am on a diet, I shouldn't eat it, still I might get tempted". There are a wide selection of meanings to this "I don't know" phrase. At least in my world...

Also, are you entitled to play future games on your PS3 if you don't meet the legally implemented requirements set by Sony? I wouldn't be so sure about that. No one is forcing you to buy or play new games, that is a choice you make. For instance, are you entitled to play games with PSN access? NO, you're not. Are you entitled to play games with 3D support? NO, you're not. Actually, if you don't upgrade the firmware you can only blame yourself for not being able to play these (or most other future) titles.. I would guess that buying and playing new games is a choice, not a right.

For instance, my launch Wii can't play double-sided(layered) discs. I can't play SSBB on my Wii, neither can my friend. If we want to play the game, we have to send our Wii to Nintendo so they can fix it. I know they're saying it's dust related and that they will vacuum it, but I heard rumors about Nintendo changing the disc drive because the launch Wii is not able to read double-layered games. Do I have a right to get compensation from Nintendo because when I bought the Wii, I thought I was going to be able to play SSBB? I would guess the answer is NO...

Oh, also. Other OS function has been gone for a long time now. The phat model has been discontinued and Other OS function is no longer a part of the PS3. Actually, it has never even been a part of the "it only does everything" campaign, so I am a little puzzled why people even bring this up into the discussion.
