Oohhhhhh...  So maybe installing Linux on the PS3 isn't a consumer right either.  No matter how you cut it, the logic cuts both ways.  Unfortunately, the ones bashing Sony here for their actions are not seeing the bigger picture as I've mentioned now and in other threads.  And you're doing the same by attempting to find "fault" in my statement when with the same logic can be applied to the other side of the argument.  Also if it's so important for some to install Linux on the PS3, maybe their priorities are off as well.  Thanks for pointing that out.  Oh... you didn't.  Go figure why.

 

That first sentence shows just how blind you are to the situation. Say you bought a Mac, then you decide to dual-boot it with another OS like Windows or Linux. Does Apple have the right to say "No, you're not allowed to do that to your Mac. You can only run OS X on it". This isn't just because Sony is the one doing it. If you have purchased hardware, you have every right to do what you like with it.

Now, the right of being able to play hassle-free online...on the closed system, you're forced to use Sony's PSN network. ony has every right to regulate users from THEIR NETWORK or encourage them to play on another network. It does not have the right to enforce security on a piece of hardware that they no longer own.

PS: Please reply to my previous response to you. I really wish to know your answers there...
