PS3 security is "epic fail"

[gertsy]

They do deserve it.  Every bit of it.  And the middle men are xxxx.  I'm glad they're going bust.

If da man don't make da profit, da man don't make da product.

It's a simple rule.   The products we like aren't there because we like them.  They are there because they make a profit and they tell us we like them.

I wonder if a US crowd started selling pirated Guinness to the detriment of the local industry how defensive of trademark and copyright laws we might become.....

There are plenty of 7 YO laptops around to install linux on anyway.

The product is supposed to run Linux.

Yes, so by law in Aus everyone could return their PS3 and get their money back 'cos they can't run Linux.  

Stand clear for the stampede...........Naught but the sound of crickets chirping....

I don't understand the big deal in running Linux on a games machine..?
Sorry to tell the Linux fan boys but if Linux was freely available on the PS3 nothing would change.  Being able to run Linux on a PS3 won't make Linux miraculously popular.
Nor would it unleash a tide of spectacular software to the PS3 scene.

Let it play games.  There's nothing wrong with playing games.

Don't know if anyone has noticed this but if you spell Sony backward you get "Y N OS"
Which with a bit of imagination could be read "Why an OS?" or "Yes No OS ?"
Either way it spells trouble for Sony and OSs.
