Sony sued for dropping Linux support on PlayStation 3

,----[ Quote ]
| A PlayStation owner has taken legal action 
| against Sony following the company's 
| decision to drop the 'Other OS' option from 
| the PlayStation 3, via a recent firmware 
| update to the console.
| 
| The 'Other OS' update was released earlier 
| in April, causing one aggrieved California 
| man to sue Sony for essentially dropping 
| Linux support for PS3.

Sony Sued For Removal Of Linux Support From PS3

,----[ Quote ]
| A class action lawsuit has been filed 
| against Sony Computer Entertainment America 
| for the removal of the 'Other OS' feature 
| from the PlayStation 3.
| 
| In March, Sony released firmware v3.21 that 
| disabled the feature, disallowing users 
| from installing the Linux operating system. 
| The update was not mandatory; however those 
| who chose not to download it were cut off 
| from a number of other features, one of 
| which included signing in to PlayStation 
| Network.

PS3 hacked after all?

,----[ Quote ]
| The PlayStation 3 up until now was the only
| one of the modern consoles that hasn't been
| hacked. Reason for this, people often
| reasoned, was that Sony had already catered to
| the "hackers" needs by granting the ability to
| install Linux on the platform.
