greater good = no piracy, no hacks, no pointless updates, etc
If 10% of PS3 owners have to go without homebrew, well I can live with that. Just like right now those 10% are living with the fact that 90% of ps3 owners will have their experienced worsened, and that games can now be easily pirated on PS3.

Why can't we all just get along?
Being forced to download an update that prevents you from getting online until its completed ....then having it sit at 0% after downloading for 5 minutes is pretty much the definition of shitty.
Oh yay it just got to 1%, this update must be bigger than the DC Universe patches...

A PS3 slim wasn't manufactured with PS2 BC in mind.... If they took that feature away from the fatties, then you'd have a point. And didn't Sony have an issue with security as a reason to remove otherOS besides cost cutting? (I've used this in another thread but...) Oh the irony.

Does it fix watching Sunshine?

The DirectTV hack would have been even more epic if the final update was sent right at the start of the Super Bowl instead of a week before. Oh well, still awesome.

He kinda doesn't. No PS3 with BC sold has had their BC removed. If you bought one without it then you can't really expect it to have it. You get what you paid for.StuBurns said:
OtherOS however...

How did it take it away? Mine can play them just fine....

Are you blind or did you just not read my post.
Great attitude by the way, with the whole bitching about bitching.

Yea why are people complaining, I had ice cream today and it was great.
I hope you are kidding btw.
Hopefully I'll get to play some Dead Space 2 online before I have to go to work tomorrow
.I own handhelds like the GP2X, Dingoo and Pandora because they're homebrew based. I donate money to indie and homebrew devs. I contribute to the various homebrew scenes however I can, because collaboration is fun. I run XBMC on my original Xbox, and look forward to the same on my PS3.Lince said:
I wonder, is accusing homebrewers of being pirates bannable across the board, or just the dedicated homebrew threads?

Not sure about the US, but that shit doesn't really fly under EU laws.StuBurns said:
I mean they can, but anyone would be allowed to return it for a full refund if they make enough noise.

Please direct me to examples of this. (*patiently awaits videos of the already broken MW2*)
The only thing I can deduce when you say experience worsened is "crying in a corner because their PS3s can do things mine can't".
MoonsaultSlayer said:
They took away OtherOS from fat PS3s too - that right there is a big reason to want it back. Of course, opponents of CFW will say: "well just don't update and you can still use that feature" - but then you can't use PSN anyway or play the newest games, effectively gimping other aspects of your console. It's like the other mantra opponents of CFW like to say: "you can't have your cake and eat it too".

That's one thing. This update right here is another. GT5 has been hacked as well. Shit will only get worst. Also read my edit.I NEED SCISSORS said:
Hey look, another one! Ain't you smart.I NEED SCISSORS said:
That's fair enough, but in the motif of 'you get what you pay for', you pay for a system that Sony can alter after your purchase.Metalmurphy said:
I think it's disgusting that it's possible to buy a system and have Sony take something that got you to buy it, but if you can get a refund, that's all I think you're entitled to.
EDIT: Regarding piracy, the only thing I did, and intended to do was install a SNES emulator because I wanted to play on my big TV with my DS3. Yes, I could get a emulator for PC, hook the computer up to the TV, hook the controller up to the PC, but that's a lot harder.

I mean, it was pretty funny how extreme your comment sounded. 'Homebrew' didn't kill your family.

Except that is a dumbass opinion that is potentially bannable on this forum. You are equating homebrew with piracy as if they are one and the same. Some opinions deserve to be laughed out of the building.

Homebrew gets a bad name in the console side because of what it brings with it. Light is rarely shined on the good it seems, from what I can tell. Piracy aspect is a threat to gamers (fear that devs would probably avoid the system or put less work into it).
That's a good thing you're doing, and I didn't know those products were homebrew based. Should have a homebrew console made for the fans.

They had a choice. They could have waited to find another way to use linux, or if they couldn't just give up sony's service until a replacement for linux was found.

32%! So close!

so I deserve to be laughed at for expressing my "dumbass" opinion here? what's this? Mozambique? you sir are a true clown.
well we have right here a rather active and dedicated thread explaining in detail the tools and methods required to "legally" play "backups" and "ROMs" (I wonder where and how do people here get the roms from their arcade boards like Street Fighter III to begin with) with PS3 CFW, I'm sure lots of GAF lurkers will use that thread as reference material to pirate games and whatnot, I don't know whether that's a bannable offense according to the GAF terms of service but it's teaching people how to pirate games, indeed it is. Of all places.

So your example is two games (one of which has already been hacked since day one - November 2009 - through save game exploits), and the potential hacks that could arise in the future? So compromised.. i'm chopping up my credit card and burning my PSN passwords as we speak.
Metalmurphy said:
Are you going to refute it or just brush it off pretending it isn't true? Because that's pretty much what i'm seeing here.

listen to the mad man
Right.
If it turns out the update has some new feature worth discussing, feel free to start a new thread about it tomorrow.
