Even if people play offline, some games comes with firmware updaes on discs, so realy even only playing offline your not getting a great exprience........and for what? so you can have a slow version of linux on your ps3 and play some old snes games via an emulator? great way to waste £255.

And too the people saying "oh its my property ill do what i want with it"  course you can mod your ps3 "visually" all you want,add as many flashy LED'S on it and art work, but the software it runs on is a licenced product of Sony....

1. Like it's been said before. New firmware updates are cracked in days, sometimes hours of release.

2. The PS3 is the only console that I can think of that has less features now then when it was released.

3. A lot of consumers paid for the ability to use Linux, play games, and go online. What rights does Sony have to take that away from consumers?

1) So you'd have to stop playing the game you have just bought and wait for a hacker to release a patch to bypass the update.

2) is that for real? i did'nt have vidzone, quirocity, bbci player, 4OD, ITV player, mubi, love film, Psn vid store, or home when i first bought my ps3

3) I'd say about 1% of ps3 owners bought it for linux, No one batted an eye lid when it was removed with the slim design in 2009........because no one cared, Sony removed it because it seemed an easy access for people to hack the ps3.........why you making out sony to be the bad guy? the question you  should be asking is what right did hackers have to mess with Son'y system and get linux removed for the rest of us? and by the rest of us , i mean the 1% that actually cared, If the hackers would have left it alone, we'd still have linux on all the old models.
