The difference is that one is a games console and another is a phone. One platform makes most of it's money from hardware, another makes most of it's money from software. One runs an online gaming network, the other doesn't. One has consumers which could potentially have their online experience harmed, the other doesn't. They are two different things, both of them being electronic devices doesn't make them similar platforms. Also, the law that was passed for phones went through, as far as I know, the law still states that consoles can't be hacked. Until something changes, then analogies are pointless in this case. |
By allowing Linux to be installed on the PS3 they opened themselves to everything that has transpired as a result. You give someone the ability to open source a game console they are going to exploit it and since Sony was the one who provided the tools, they are now going to punish people for using what they were given. Come on, think about it.
