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.

Linux was not advertized, that is why the lawsuits about Linux failed miserably. Get your facts right.

Advertised or not, it was still a promised feature. Legally, I have no idea if it matters at all, but to tell the truth, I don't care at all.
