Thank you for having a decent conversation unlike Hoodninja who thinks his opinion speaks for everyone. I don't think they should have let it be.  They definitely needed to remove that feature from the PS3 so as to prevent people from pirating software.  The one issue is that some people weren't using this feature to pirate games to begin with.  

Basically, one bad apple ruined the experience for everyone else.  I just feel Sony should have owned up to their mistake.  I understand that not a lot of people cared about the loss of being able to run GNU/Linux (I didn't even care myself).  But honestly, what does it take for people to be in uproar?  If this would have been the ability to play blu-ray movies, then people would be down Sony's throat.  

What I am trying to emphasize is that it is not specifically what they removed, but rather, removing a feature that was already in the hands of the consumer without any sort of compensation and no ownership of their mistake.  They simply turned the blame on the consumer.


Again, nobody really gave a crap except for hackers and pirates. It's a fact.

I am not a hacker nor do I pirate anything.  Proof that you are not "just stating facts".

Why do I suddenly regret replying to someone like him....
