thats funny

It just makes me chuckle with sony. What was supposed to make their platform ended up on the chopping block.
The backwards compatibility went limp, and now the linux support. Sorry sony

@mike

I see. I stand corrected.

But you know what? That actually makes it *even funnier*. After all, its not as if people didnt know what Sony are like. Rootkit Sony. Banned Modchip Sony. et cetera ad nauseam Sony.

You have to laugh.

It wasn't a hack

Coward - it was never a hack, it was a feature enabled by Sony.

This is what you get

... when you buy into a locked down platform and delude yourself "its OK, because we will always be able to hack it" - the day comes when you cant. And you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Remember: the only legitimate, legal recourse you have when confronted with DRM-infested shit is *not to buy it*.

HTH.

Predictable

They gave people the keys to the kingdom with Linux support. It was embraced with a collective yawn outside research and academia. All the end-user stuff people hoped for never materialised. And then the most excitement it causes? Someone abusing it to try and hack their own GameOS operating system (geohot).

Sony was too generous, too open-minded. People thumbed their nose up at it and then started to try and compromise Sony's own platform through it. Ever since geohot published his "work", the writing has been on the wall.

I have to also laugh at how much of a backlash this has created. Where were you all when PS3 Linux was being persistently ignored? It's potential was never realised, which is a big shame, because frankly people did not care about it.
