jeez...I guess it's all down to the few honest gamers who choose to maintain the authenticity of their machines.

Here's an idea: come down off your high horse and use your head for a second.

I paid good money for my PS3, and one of the reasons I did so was because of its ability to run Linux. This was an advertised feature.

But Sony decided to take that ability away from me, even though I am not a pirate.

I am definitely reinstalling Linux on my PS3. I am regaining functionality that I paid for, and Sony can eat shit if they have a problem with it.

And your going to depend on a hacker who caused Sony to remove the feature away from you in the first place.

I understand that your angry at Sony but once you sign their online agreement pretty much done from there dude.

You're saying that I should be alright with the fact that Sony is punishing me for something I had nothing to do with?

When will people learn that you can't punish legitimate users for what pirates do? Then you piss off everyone, and you get this sort of backlash.
