Sony took the Condoleeza Rice approach to the merest hint of there possibly one day maybe being piracy achievable through the Other OS feature. i.e. they chose not to wait for the smoking gun (actual illegal activity) and went to war with the CFW/Homebrew/FSM folks and the pirates when there may not have been any need for a war.

They could have simply released a statement saying that if the Other OS feature on the phat gets used for illegal software activity then they will do a FW release to remove it from all systems. Fire off a warning shot and wait with the FW bomb poised and ready for release at a moment's notice. Often a deterrent is as effective as direct action.

By trying to lock the door they just drew the attention of the lock pickers and gave them an enticing challenge. The irony being that 3.21 may end up leading to CFW/homebrew/piracy on PS3 sooner than would have been the case if they left the phats as is.

I haven't updated my phat yet. But mostly because I haven't tried to log in to PSN. If 3.21OO comes out before I feel inclined to get onto PSN, and it's fairly straight forward to install then I might just do it for no other reason than to thumb my nose at Sony's ridiculous reaction to this whole situation.

Good post. Why can't more people here have brains like you do? Oh the humanity.

At least there are people here trying to see both sides.

You're just ignoring whoever has another opinion and then go on to praise posts that suit your point.

If Sony hadn't unlawfully forced the consumers to either lose Other OS or the ability to play future games, BD movies and use PSN, there wouldn't be a CFW.

Sometimes things are just as simple as they look.

I dont support sony on this move, but they didnt force you to loose the ability to play future games or bd movies. That would be illegual. They stated that you may not be able to use certain content without update. Like when theyll release 3D games and 3D blu ray movies this was not part of your purchase so they can restrict you on those. If they release any kind of new tech, then they may restrict you on those. Moves games are another good example. But the normal PS3 games will surely never be restricted to removing "otherOS", people would mass sue them and would win, its not going to happen.

Your right sometimes thing are just as simple as they look, but theres different ways of looking at them... In this case, they suck for doing it, but its not illegual, simple heh.

@damnyouall, with a name like "damnyouall" no surprise you think many people on here have no brain. Just so you know, I think that you have a very questionable logic and like to exagerate thing when its in favor of your opinion.

@binarysolo, agreed.

I'd like to know how sony unlawfuly forced the consumers to lose other OS.

 

They didnt force me. So whats your point? Perhaps things are too simple to see.

Id like Damnyouall to take me up on my offer but I fully expected that he wouldnt be able to deliver the proof I asked for, nor would he stop posting about this like he was personally robbed of, something he used all the time.

Thread reported I hope mods ban you damyouall, because you have no idea what CFW could do to people's PS3's when it does come out.

How juvenile

Reported you for making highly ignorant and misleading statements about CFW, I hope mods ban you as well.

If you knew ANYTHING about what CFW was about then you would know there is virtually no maleware for CFW consoles, PSP for example has had 1 "virus" written for it that I can recall and it was causing bricks, however in most cases CFW is tested as much or more then OFW and is, for the most part just as stable and reliable.

 

obviously the poster of this thread does not know the rules, I am pretty sure it is against rules to post anything related to hacks, in this case posting any info in here about CFW is a bad idea.

also what i said was not wrong,  I am not being juvenile, beleive it or not some of us are against CFW coming to PS3, please try harder next time to insult me.
