Not a major issue, I doubt the percentage of users that used the feature would be that high.

Boy, this all involves tons of exclamation points for you!!!

This is a great great thing for PS3, make no mistake, and no damage control, fake enthusiasm threads change that!!!

Bokal what's anti PS3 about saying I prefer the features of the fat PS3 to the ones of the slim?

Grow a spine...

Don't take it that way

Just that probably 2/3 of your posts are anti PS3, I'm pretty sure you'd NEVER EVER want a PS3...
So complaining about the removal of the least used (and probably least useful yet) feature of the PS3, and giving it as a reason not to buy one, I think it's funny.

I'll go growing silently now.

Actually I'm anti-Sony, not anti-PS3 usually. I have my reasons.

Most likely that most people who are gonna buy the PS3 now, probably didnt know they could install another OS on it so its no big deal

I had ubuntu installed on my first ps3 and it was useless. For the vast majority of ps3 users i don't see the benefit of being able to install an open source OS.
