which unfortunately for Sony, they have a ton of people pissed at them. I know at least 50 people, not including me, that used OtherOS that has requested to be added to the suit. A sturdy shield isn't enough to fend off hundreds or people, let alone thousands. Think about all the medical scientists that probably put their names into this suit. Sony's shield will break under the weight of medical science.
And If im not mistaken, aren't people in Europe also trying to fight for OtherOS to be put back?

Why would medical scientists add themselves to the case? I'll answer that. They wouldn't. If anyone was using the PS3 in a cluster, why would they upgrade? Again, I'll answer, they wouldn't. That's why Sony isn't getting sued by the US gov't for removing OtherOS, even when the Navy is using the PS3 in a cluster.
The OtherOS case probably won't go anywhere. You know why? Sony didn't force you to remove the OtherOS in the first place. They even put out announcements about what the new FW would do and even had you confirm it twice before it would even install. In the end, YOU chose playing newer games and the PSN over PS3 Linux. It was YOUR choice.

Er. There is a thing called PS3's breaking down.
This is why the US Airforce said Sony removing Other OS was "Very disapointing" and they were aware of the lawsuit.
As for the "your choice"... ever hear of "Hobson's Choice."
Such a choice is actually illegal under consumer laws.
To quote the Other OS Lawsuit....
MR. PIZZIRUSSO: I am, Your Honor. It was a Hobson's choice. Either way, you lose functionality. You are going to lose features either way. And we said that's not a real choice.
You can't sell someone an apple and an orange. Then tell them they have to give one back. Then claim it's ok because "It was their choice."
Hence why Sony isn't even trying to argue that. They are trying to argue that the defendents shouldn't of had the expectation to play games that came out after their warranties were up, because after your warranty is up you can't even expect your console will work.

Wow, that is their argument? seriously? That is basically saying "You bought the system but f-you if your system breaks after the warranty which we had to legally issue otherwise we would be hit by a federal fine."
They are going to lose so badly if that is their entire argument, and they can't pay everyone off like probably did with GeoHotz.
