Pretty simple really.  There has been a mixed bag of reactions regarding Sony's decision to remove otheros support.  This poll is to see what users on this site feel about the decision made by sony in percentages.  I hope everyone votes, and votes honestly so we can see.

I'm expecting a higher than average percentage of people on here would use OtherOS compared to the general PS3 population, but i still imagine it would have to be rather small.

Please everyone with a PS3 vote!!!

You get to keep other OS and not have to update. You dont have to download or install anything. I did it and i am playing MAG right now!!!



Wtf? April fools? i don't understand how changing to a custom DNS is going to solve anything.



i couldnt care less about OS support. However if they somehow removed my PS2 support from my phat then there would be only chaos! :P

For who uses ps3 as media center it should be essential, but since i just use it for gaming i really don't care, i downloaded and installed the 3.21 update knowing everything it was going to do whitout regreting. Other OS was an open door to hackers, but if sony don't "destroy" CFW consoles piracy will take over. If you install a CFW and try to connect online your PS3 is infected with a virus and YLOD itself, and put this virus in every single game sold in BD.



i couldn't care less about the install other OS feature but i did get an idea in my head. i'm going to be internet-less at home in about 2 weeks anyways and not get it back for a month or two. since obviously i won't be able to sign onto psn anyways i'm just not going to update at the moment. that way if geohot really does anything i can potentially sell my current ps3 for enough cash to upgrade to a ps3 slim. xD
