Bastards!!!

So people really don't buy a console;they just  pay for a lease  of services that can change at the whim of Sony or whomever?

 People ought to demand  full refunds for Sony's breach of performance for each and every console which was sold with Sony advertising linux functionality concurrent with full use of the other services including online gaming.

 I'd love to see a big class-action mega-lawsuit on behalf of ALL Sony "fat" PlayStations  against Sony .It should be based on Sony's  arbitrary and capricous disabling of  advertised and previously functional capabilities of  the purchasers'  without proof of any wronging by said purchasers and seek full restoration of services,attorney fees,and  compensatory and punitive damages .

 Remember the Sony rootkit ? Sony deserves to be punished.

Sony should not be permitted to disable advertised features that no doubt played a part in buyers' choices;it is perfectly acceptable for Sony to stop selling new  units that no longer have those features ,and which are not advertised as having those features.
 Sony demanding the right to disable advertised features of any product in order to continue using services or functions the users have been promised and have been using is just wrong.

 And as much as people love to bash MS,if MS can bring the best product for the market  at the best price then MS deserves to win.

 I do believe honest competition is good and would hate to see a world where there is only one console,one car company,one language,etc.
