I've been applauding Sony for the last 16 years and I haven't stopped yet.

...My hands are getting sore.

Sony has miles to go to catch up to its competitors,they're doing pretty good in their exclusives games breaking ground like MGS4,Uncharted 1-2,Gow3(omg its almost time for me to play it just fighting Zeus in gow2 and Im on to the 3rd),Little big planet,GT5,killzone 2,and thats about it...jk heavy rain too

i hope you wont be stopping anytime soon ^_^

Add in the fact that they are allowing certain people (or organizations) to keep using Linux.  Im going to find out how, but if Im reading this correctly I should be able to keep mine!

I'll drink to that :D

Less than 1% of PS3 owners would of installed or used Linux on PS3. The 256MB Ram inside the PS3 is not ideal for running an OS. Sony made a smart business move got rid of OS which is not needed. The costs involved in hacking and pirating PS3 games is too expensive to pirates it is not worth their time and effort. PS3 is far from hack proof.

Where are you reading it?

I'll get the strippers.

I think Sony's better business decision would have been to never allow Linux to be installed.  Now, I have problems with them removing a function from my system through forced patches.  It is one thing to cease support for a function but it is another thing altogether to disable it's functionality under the threat of losing other functions of the system.  I hope they, and any other company that does this sort of thing, end up with class action lawsuits.  I think Sony knew that linux was going to end up being a backdoor into cracking the system open and they didn't want what happened to the PSP to happen to the PS3.  However, it isn't the costomer's fault that Sony put themselves in that position.  Offering and promoting linux installations the system was their choice, and something that some customers based their purchasing decision on.

I give this thread a 9.2.

Thats how it sounds.  Im trying to find the exact wording of it.  Why I said if Im reading this correctly.
