Dont like it? sue em see how far that gets you and find out how much paperwork and covered they are legally. Or you could do what these people are doing and commit a felony get caught and either work for the government and use those skills for something other than your baised opinions or go to prision either way it still doesnt get you anywhere and if they were half as smart as they thought they were they would realize this. Nope acting like a child and throwing a temper tantrum is more their style it still doesnt work and they know legal action isnt going to work either otherwise they would have taken this route. My opinion dont be mad because Sony is smarter than you and has every hole and and backdoor covered and is trying to make a great product for everyone and not some lazy fat ass porker who wants to cheat and say he is the COD GOD. Please, life is so much more than this and i love playing games but it isnt life dont treat it as such

Actually, Anonymous' attacks are having exactly the desired effect, and that is to draw attention to the issue. I didn't sign anything when I bought my ps3, did you? The terms of service agreement is one thing, but nowhere in their TOS do they say that by updating the firmware they are going to remove key features and advertised uses of the product. Video games are not the focus of the issue here, they're a small part. The problem is, for the thousands of people that bought original ps3s, it was advertised as a multi-os platform. Many people bought it specifically for that reason, myself included. When they took that feature out with firmware, they removed a key selling-point of the product. They didn't do it because customers were in danger and they sure as hell didn't do it because of hacking considering hacking has gotten far worse, not just from Anonymous. They did it because people were downloading ripped games and movies, taking away from their profits. This problem could have been rectified, or at least dampened, with more security and R&D, but instead they simply removed the entire feature, a feature I and many others paid for.
As for the 400hp example, you're dead wrong. In fact, there was a class action lawsuit against ford over the 1999 cobra not having the hp it was advertised to have and they had to recall the entire line to replace the exhaust system and bring out the power numbers they were advertising. I was sold a product advertised as a multi-os gaming platform and it's not any longer
I have a feeling some of you don't really understand what the multi-OS feature was to the ps3 originally. If they had discontinued the use of bluray on the platform, I bet you'd be singing a different tune.
