"See how it works?"

nah all i see is that we see things differently, just like how you believe that even though theres nothing on the console, the box it comes in ( which has all of the supported media and formats - bluray, compact disc, wifi, dolby, etc), in ps3 tv ads or other promos about other os thats its still being advertised as a major ps3 feature but i see otherwise

It was being advertised as a feature. View my links.

Regardless, the matter still comes down to whether Sony has the right to remove features from a system that has been bought and paid for....

well we obviously have a very different concept of advertising for gaming for me it entails :

signage on the console ( no other os there )

 the box it comes in ( which in the ps3's case shows all of the supported media and formats - bluray, compact disc, wifi, dolby, etc but shockingly no other os)

ps3 tv ads, radio ads or other promos ( can't say for certain but i'm pretty sure its not there either )

 

"the matter still comes down to whether Sony has the right to remove features"

well legally i'd say they did but as i've said before it was unfair to other os users, no doubt about that... but beyond that taking geohots exploits into consideration i can see why it was done 


What do you think E3 etc are? A big advertisment by numerous gaming companies, to announce things to get people excited. Does that mean I'd get a console based on a new feature that didn't have a confirmed release date? Absolutely not.

How was what done? you even mentioned Geohotz exploits surround more than just OtherOS. In fact, any PS3 without OtherOS can still use the exploit. Now I know that they removed OtherOS before Geohotz found the non-OtherOS exploit, but for the sake of consistency, doesn't that mean OtherOS or not, they're still hackable, and just re-introduce it?
