This decision makes ZERO sense to me and many others.

Exactly. It makes no sense at all to remove the Other OS feature at this point.


LOL "and many others" doesnt matter because more people wont even notice or hear about the feature being removed. A couple thousand will know about it out of 35 million

If you're not interested in this feature then why in the hell are you still in this thread trolling responses.  Please leave or I will report you for persistantly trolling users.  We have every right to state our opinion just as much as yourself, the difference is we're doing it rationally and without being snide with our attitude like yourself.

What do you expect from a company which thought it was fine to "own" their customer's PCs by including a rootkit trojan in their music CDs?

Regardless of how awesome or not Sony's products are, no one can deny that they're pretty low in customer treatment and respect. Hopefully this episode will get more people to realize that.

 

You think its the company that decided to include a rootkit trojan deliberately? Where are your sources? If true, it also could be an angry employee or an error.

It was a big scandal a while ago, and yes Sony confirmed that they did it on purpose as an extreme form of DRM. In fact they later issued a "trojan removal" program which installed a few more nasty things in itself.

Double standard much?
Don't you find it odd that piracy killed PSP and PS3 but not the Wii, DS, or Xbox 360.

Maybe... Sony is too good at the blame game?

i laughed at this like an asshole a pure #%#@ asshole.

Sony learned how lethal hacks are from the PSP, its only common sense that they close the door.

No it isn't. Removing Linux won't stop any hacks. It takes away a feature from those who paid for it.

Who bought a PS3 just to put Linux on it? No one.

Who said anyone did? It's still part of the package I and many others paid for and wish to keep.

Part of the package I paid for included access to PSN. I'd like to have both.
