2. I don't want to mod my ps3. I want it to work as it was advertised to me. I never once said I agreed with the hacking now did I? Please, show me where I did. I said it's having exactly the intended effect of drawing attention. I want them to stop too so I can use my own ps3. My point is, Sony screwed a bunch of customers and that's why this hacking is going on, or at least that's what most of the hackers say is their reasoning.
Half of you don't care because you never used it and most of you probably don't even know what linux is, but I and many others purchased the ps3 specifically for certain uses that it simply can't do anymore. If they removed bluray playback this would be a completely different conversation, but it's exactly the same thing. They didn't make a progressive move to a new, improved version of 'other OS' like the xbox live examples, they completely eliminated the feature with no substitute. There are obviously some people that agree with me considering there have been a total of 8 class action lawsuits filed on the matter and one is still in the process

1. OMG!!! You said that altering a systems features after the console is released should be illegal, I pointed out that, that view is totaly obsured considering the Features that have been added to the PS3 for the past 4 years through firmware updates. If you don't recognize that then your lieing to yourself.
2. OH come on!! It did perform exactly as advertised and still do.
YOU AGREED to update to the next frimware knowing that OS will be taken away, if it was that improtant to you than you should not have updated. Remeber the Box is yours but you don't own sony's online services and future software until purchase. If you are going to use their services, you have to play by their rules
ALL COMPANYS ARE THAT WAY!!. No company allow you to have your cake and eat it too, because it clearly leads to lost revenue for developers and publishers, and online cheating, everybody looses.
3. People will sue about anything these days and most of those lawsuits have been dismissed.
