Tell that to owners of the Samsung Galaxy devices, which happen to be one of the best selling Android phones.

I am not sure if majority of the Sony supports realize what could happen if Sony wins this case.

It doesn't matter if you think majority doesn't care. The fact is that there are millions who do.

You completely missed the point, some people did buy the system to play the latest games and use Other OS.  What Sony did by removing that feature I can guarantee you is illegal in some countries but what 20 something male can afford a court case to fight the likes of Sony?

Why should a consumer have to sacrifice anything with no compensation for the loss of features.  I'm sick of reading mindless drones harp on like Sony did no wrong in this.  They tried to f**k over some of the userbase and now they act like the shitstorm that follows isn't their fault.  I bought and therefor own my hardware, Sony had no right to disable features advertised when I bought it.  Fair enough they can revoke my access to PSN that is their right but not to stop me playing the latest games, I only hope someone can actually fight for the consumer and prove this point in court at some point.

Lets just hypothesize that Sony decide the only way they can fight piracy next is to release a update that means you cannot play games unless you're connected to PSN hence they can detect your firmware.  This DRM would then leave millions unable to use their consoles if they aren't connected online.  Would this be acceptable?  How far are you willing to be shafted, before you stand up for yourself exactly?

For those people whinging about losing out on a short time on PSN you're part of the reason it got this far.  Had all consumers actually complained to Sony rather than making excuses on their behalf something might have been done to steer Sony away from the path they took.  Don't forget this all started when the other OS feature was removed because a potential exploit was found for old systems to fully utilize the PS3.  They already had no Other OS on slims so it wouldn't have been a huge issue until they forced Geohotz to go all out to protect his rep for them removing Other OS.  This resulted directly in all PS3's becoming fully hacked and the root key posted online.

how much money do you think Sony is saving on removing other os?  bucket loads I'd bet, I mean I'd wager they put the feature in JUST so they could remove it to save SOO much money, I mean it's not like they launched the ps3 for 250 dollars less than what it's worth, they have been profiting off of the ps3 this entire time, and removed other os.....just to mess with people and of course save SOOO much  money, greedy bastards, who are they to modify shit THEY OWN.

I could go forever.....and you still wouldn't get it -_-

I read the letter, I fail to see how their reasons justify their actions.  You don't have the right to smash the shit out of someones place of business if they breach your consumer rights, why should you have the right to do the same if their place of business is online? Nothing about this is for the consumer at all. Its about the bragging rights and causing as much disruption as possible no matter who is affected.

Most of them have not done any research on the situation. If Sony wins the Geohot case all the Sony products you bought will still be owned by them and they can do as they please with it. Thats the reality of the situation and it seems people could not be bothered.

You're not hurt, but I am.

What makes YOU special?

Answer that? I hope the answer isn't: "Because I am in the majority" because that argument is weak.

Majority may not hack, but that "majority" does not necessarily include people who wish to mod their hardware, run homebrew on official firmwares, etc...

If you think all of those people exist within the same group then you are mistaken.

its called vigilantism and it helps no one

Well Sony had a choice di they not? Anyone could have seen this coming as I stated before. You dont go sticking your d**k into a hornets nest and expect to get an erection do you?

Get an xbox, microsoft doesnt mind hombrewers and the rest of your kind.

The rest of us would preffer no hakers on psn, psn is a better place when there arent any hakers in there.

You act as if getting angry makes your argument stronger.

Point is simple. You are supporting the lose of rights for security in online video games. I understand your argument just well, however I also know that company will continually create fixes to deal with future online issues.

However, you can't so easily create a fix for your lost rights.

Go ahead and think that I am the one not understanding things though. At least I know I am on my side and not on the side of corporation for the sole interest of my video games, which aren't going to suddenly vanish.
