The removal of this is not the end of the world and I really doubt people decided to buy a PS3 over an xbox just for the OtherOS function:P

I still paid for the ability to use the feature. I didn't appreciate how one month they said they were keeping it and the next it was gone.

Yeah suuuuureeee!

I was going to build a small factor PC to use as a blu-ray media center / emulator station connected to my living room TV. The Linux installation option was a big factor in my going with the PS3 instead.

Yes, we're a small minority, but each of us paid as good money as every other user.

Why did they remove it in the first place?

Some dude figured out how to hack ps3s using the OS function and Sony removed as an attempt to prevent mass piracy and so on.

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Once again people post ignorantly completely missing the point of why this was such a bad thing to happen. If you don't care about this issue thats fine but stop downplaying this issue for those who do care. The people running damage control are causing this issue to go on and on because of their poor attitude.
