I don't see what the big deal is, tbh. Can you still play games on it? Use your machine for what it was intended and dry your eyes.
So what if Sony dictates what can or can't be done on its machine?
You don't buy a DVD player then bitch that it doesn't make toast. Play games on your PS3 and be happy.
I'd complain if I bought a DVD player that was advertised as having an integrated toaster function, and then a firmware update disabled the toaster at a later date.
