You still didn't answer what I just said.  PSN is an accessory that Sony does not have to provide.  It's a service that you agree to abide by their terms and conditions to use.  It's a seperate entity from the PS3 itself.  PSN Plus is just a further example of that.

The courts have spoken,  the case was dismissed because as it currently stands there is NO case. Sony denied you service to the PSN, not to your system.  While that sucks, nothing about that is illegal hence the court result.  No new evidence is going to crop up so as I said,  you're going to have to accept it.

The PS3 is an incredibly power gaming machine (Relative to it's competing consoles),  for standard every day computing?  It's miserable as they all are.  It's built for gaming with the open-endedness to allow Linux usage.  You're still a retard for using Linux on it. The only viable explanation is wanting to 'utilize' the cell processor.  Which I am sure encompassed a few thousand people. 


I'm not talking about PSN Plus. Read the rest of the sentence. PSN is not the only thing that are taken from OtherOS users...

You didn't read the previous posts like I said, did you? The real case is whether things such as the ability to play new games are hindered for OtherOS users. I honestly don't give two shits about being on PSN. Other companies ban people from their online services, they can too. The new evidence will be whether one comes across a game that requires a firmware version after that of OtherOS, which Sony could then be charged with denying offline access to certain games, as well...

A computer that sucks at computer stuff, but good at games....now I've heard everything. There is nothing too different to the PS3 with relation to other PowerPC processors. SPUs have existed many years before the PS3 claimed to have them (threaded, floating point pipelining). If you're basing this via first hand experience with OtherOS, keep in mind that the Hypervisor drivers were designed to severely limit the processing capacity in order to maintain system control, hence why Geohotz was tinkering with them in the first place. Unless you're familiar with progressing CPU architecture, I suggest that you don't go there.
