how many people use PS3 Linux?Grooski said:So let me get this right? They take obscure features away, you guys bitch about it. They add features, you still bitch about it. :lol
Love the "I'm entitled to everything" mentality...

how many people have a 3D TV?
yeah, they introduced an even more niche feature than the one they removed...

OldJadedGamer said:Shhhh, don't talk about it or they'll remove this feature too. Or is there a 2 year window before features are safe from being removed?
Trailblaster said:True but:
3d media and Gaming adoption will most certanly grow over time as will the profits generated by them.
Where as Linux on the PS3 was pretty much dead and offered Sony no financial incentive for supporting it. Linux on the PS3 was showing signs of being security liability.
So Faceless, if you were Sony which feature one would you adopt and which feature would you drop?
so you buy it and your wife/gf/brother/sister/roomie etc can't play itRavenFox said:And that's bad how?

MEGATON!badcrumble said:I just tested it and they seem to have fixed the region-free EU Blu-Ray problem. It works with my LIFE Blu-Ray, at any rate.
WAT?!?!?!?!?! They finally fixed Dragona's Blu-Ray issue?!?!?!?! Someone sound the siren!badcrumble said:I just tested it and they seem to have fixed the region-free EU Blu-Ray problem. It works with my LIFE Blu-Ray, at any rate.
The Faceless Master said:true, it's a bad comparison.
you're not FORCED to use home, but you ARE forced to choose between Linux and the PSN.
no, just until a paid feature that was removed is re-added.Zombie James said:Are we seriously going to have a Linux debate every time a new firmware release comes out?

so basically, you agree with me.Trailblaster said:Yes and just like any software service you have to agree to Sony's terms of service. If Sony decided that, to use their service you have to disable "Other OS" their with in their right as the service provider to do so.
It may not be a nice choice but it is your choice to make.

This was my first time trying them out on my PS3, to be fair - 'twas just a test. If it's a false alarm, I'm sorry (I didn't want the Oprah Winfrey voiceover - I don't know why people think that the US will have a problem with Attenborough). You may be right.swoon said:wasn't the blu ray problem only with titles with pal50 material? all of my region free blu rays worked fine, did life not play before?

h3ro said:That sucks. Still don't understand why they couldn't fix the exploit while keeping the feature available. Sorry you can't take advantage of the update you've been waiting for.

It already has both.-PXG- said:Don't care. Gimme cross game chat and invites Sony. That's all I want.
I doubt that Sony put that much thought or time into it. My guess is that some suit got forwarded the story by someone who read about it on the internet, freaked out, and told the lowly firmware team to remove OtherOS ASAP, and they dutifully complied. I honestly don't think that it was some thoughtful, reluctant move, but a quick and instinctive and thoughtless one. I don't think there was malice in it, but I don't think it was an informed decision on Sony's part in the least either; it's just fairly typical corporate blundering.Trailblaster said:It sounds like the exploit isn't somthing they couldn't just patch, and the risk of keeping Linux far out weighed the gains. Or at lest in Sony's eyes.
It really sucks because any chance a of more fully supported Linux OS with GPU acceleration on the PS4 goes out the window also.
Fucking Gehot...
