I'm pretty sure consumer rights is in the left field and actual minority rights is in the right field. As for the rest of your argument, if you guys want to hack your own systems, go ahead. But I won't fault Sony for wanting to protect their business and normal customers, especially if this might come back to hurt regular PS3 owners. And Sony gave you an option to keep Linux. I don't think Sony is required by law to update your machine or provide PSN access to you.

I actually don't want to hack my system.  I'm just not self centered enough to think only about myself.

Also, you do realize that if you don't update your firmware you can't play any new PS3 games right? 

I'm obviously not thinking of myself either as you can tell from my argument.

Well that's part of the trade off for keeping the Other OS. Like I said, Sony won't mandate you update the software or

buy anything for the console. Anyway hackers have been find a way through the updates recently, so are you really missing out?

My main stance is this. If you want to tamper with your machine and use homebrew, go ahead. But I do not believe you should have the same access to the Playstation Network as I do, and I think that's a fair stance.
