Why you should support the "Other OS" Lawsuits.

Well, people who bought it specifically for Linux support can be mad and might have a case. However, the Ps3 is a gaming system first and foremost, so I really can't stand behind this suit.

I understand they took away a feature which was advertised, and might be a breach of terms, but all that can justly be gained from this suit is at least a partial refund. If anyone wants anything else from this, I'd consider them being greedy. After all, if you buy a Ps3, you shouldn't expect to just disregard it's ability as a gaming console. And if you bought it just to be something else, I can't feel sorry for you. Buy a real computer if you want Linux support.

:/

I understand that the lawsuit doesn't apply to you, nor would I have a case, but I think the court should order that Linux support be reinstated or award them a refund.

That does sound fair. Maybe they could seperate the linux support from actual PSN networking. Or perhaps make it so you can only go on one service at a time.

I don't know, but it would be nice if they could do that.

I would even be ok if they just said "Linux or PSN, choose" although it would still be a bit of a dick move.

But without the firmware updates, anyone who keeps Linux cannot play any PS3 games made from now on, I mean come on, that can't possibly be necessary.
