I am a PS3 owner. I'm quite happy with it as a games machine and I had no real interest in installing Linux. However, if I had installed Linux I would be a bit pissed. it amazes me that so many people think it is acceptable that Sony can do this. Do you own a car? If your car manufacturer came and removed your sunroof would the car still go from a to b ? Of course it would, but you would still be pissed yes?
Another point many people are missing is that Sony claim this is an anti-piracy measure. LMFAO!!!!!!! Who made the chips that modded PS2? Oh yes, my freinds, it was Sony themselves! bloody hypocrisy at its best.
Still, I'm with Kolla on this one, It's not bad news, it is fantastic news. Now the hackers can (and will) target this machine for people like me to rip it apart and play with the innards.
I guess I should point out that I also own an original XBox with an executor 3 chip, modded (clear blue) case and a 200GB drive as well as a recased, pot tweaked, Viper chipped Gamecube. Even my N64 had a V64 Doctor sitting underneath it (illegal in the US but not in the UK I might add).
Thanks Sony, you can have some more cash off me when you make a PS3 mod chip, sell it through a Hong Kong distributer and then shut them down. Lik-Sang anyone?
GO GO Geohot!!! Flame On!!!
