Its unfortunate. PS3 use to be the most secure but also the most open of the 3 consoles. You could install your own hard drive, play a lot more formats of music, videos, etc. There were also a lot more 3rd party accessories you could use. Unfortunately I think Sony will definately have the PS4 more secure and under control. They may go to the Apple/Microsoft route. Propitory hard drives, accessories, etc. Sony might also take away PS3 backwards compatibility because of this. Its unfortunate that people just couldn't be pleased with what the PS3 had to offer. Sure taking away linux was a bad move by Sony but out of the 3 current consolses it was still the most open. In the end the only people we can blame are ourselves or Geohot-which ever you prefer :)
