And what sort of conveniences would that be with the context of this thread?  And I didn't know you owned IP's installed on the PS3.  Care to enlighten us on those IP's?

Sony's conveniences with their process allows them to dictate how a consumer's PURCHASED hardware is run. Yes you have a choice, but in both situations you lose something. How exactly is that fair? To add to this, locking down hardware in order to combat piracy is a blatant intrusion on consumer property rights.

I never said anything about IPs. I'm talking about the hardware here. If Sony was handing out free PS3s on condition that they are not modified, then you wouldn't hear from me. But this is hardware that people have legitimately bought.
