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.


Are you really missing out if you have to do something illegal, to get back core functions of your machine that were promised to you at the time of purchase?

I'd say....

Yes?

Also, no... your stance does sound like you are only thinking of yourself, and using the "majority" arguement as a mask for selfishness.

Since it's an arguement you are having a hard time even justifying as logical.

Also, your stance is meritless, since that's NOT was Sony is doing.  Sony isn't cutting people off from PSN.  They are cutting people off from PSN and one of the core features of the sysetm they bought.  Playing PS3 games.
