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  could ask is what right did hackers have to mess with Son'y system and have linux removed for the rest of us? and by the rest of us , i mean the 1% that actually cared

1. Woah woah woah!?! Are you seriously saying that Sony has managed to update the firmware on the disc while you are playing it offline?! If not I fail to see what this has to do with our conversation...

2. Are those part of the PS3? Or part of the PSN network aka not actually features on the console itself?

3. Are you really blaming Geohot for that, really? Geohot made the tiniest little progress in a hack that not even the whole PS3 population could of taken advantage of.  Guess what? :o Had they just left him alone he probably would have hit a brickwall(Which he did!!) and then given up(Which he did!!), but no, they removed the only thing that was preventing 0verflow from hacking the console... Great job Sony!

...

Back to my point... Sony was dumping money into continually updating the hypervisor to be comaptible with the newer firmware updates. What a better way to get rid of the feature then to just blame it on the pirates...

3.5. So what if only 1% cared about the Linux capabilities? How are their feelings any less relevant then the rest of ours? They paid for the console just like you and I... They deserve to get what was promised for them

Heck, they were lied to by Sony a couple of weeks before they were raped...

Never have I used Linux on the PS3 and I likely won't, but I paid for the ability to have it, and play games, and go on PSN.

You make it sound as if George Hotz is some sort of saint.
