1:Well if you want to get specific you payed for the experiance that attracted you to the PS3 if otherOS wasn't that experiance then why would you care? and Sony sold the PS3 at a lose for years. You already got what you payed for.

2:Again why care if they removed it?

3:Had to ask because a lot of people using the fighting for our rights bullshit never owned a phat PS3 in the first place so OtherOS removal didn't affect them

4:So why did Sony remove otherOS then??

5:So geohut claims he just wanted to run homebrew on the PS3 and not pirate games but you could already run Homebrew on linux? So why did he try to compromise the security then?


1 & 2. Because as a consumer I don't very well like having stuff I paid for taken. The ability to use it if I want is there, and will remain there. If I have to go somewhere besides Sony for support then so be it.

4. Glad you asked :D

This'll give me a reason to actually do what I was planning earlier. Give me a few minutes to do some stuff and I'll get back to you

5. As someone said earlier Linux ran homebrew horribly. Homebrew on the main OS runs much more smoothly


1 and 2: Well as much as I'd love to have that option there too, I can understand how Sony wanted to protect there buisness. At the end of the day Sony is a buisness and a big part of that buisness is developing games. I wouldn't expect anyone to just sit by and watch people mess with there buisness. Especially people like geohot who did it all for recoqnition and glory. Geohot the dude that hacked the unhackable PS3. You really think he did all this to fight for our rights??

4:Replyed to your other post

5:Now this is why I've no simpathy for anyone who claimed they used PS3 for installing Linux or bought a PS3 for Linux because Linux ran horribley on the PS3. Anyone who is interested in linux does not go out and spend 400 euros or 300 euros on a PS3 just to run linux when you could buy a labtop for the same amount of money that could run linux 10 times better than the PS3 and is more accessable.
