I don’t mind, I think this is good for gamers. This will probably teach Sony to care more for their customers. I have a 60 gig PS3 with a faulty disc drive that still works aside from not reading discs. I’m definitely thinking about hacking it when I have a little time. I mean shit, I had to buy a slim, my warrentee was up so now there’s no use for it other than to hack cuz I sure as hell am not gonna spend a hundred bucks sending it in to be repaired.

Stupid.
Linux is an operating system, you can do what you wish with it.
Write programs, make media, surf the web and whatnot.

I thank all the free minded individuals that product these hacks. If I buy something, I sure as hell can do whatever I please with it.

I didn’t rent my PS3, I didn’t licence it from sony, I have no agreement with sony not to modify my own property. I OWN my PS3, so I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

Never will I let a multinational corporation tell me what I can and cannot to with my own property.

Exactly! when i bought my PS3 it was ADVERTISED, BY SONY, as being allowed to run other OS’s . This was the reason i bought my PS3 for playing wit Yellow dog linux and the Cell chips inside. not for gaming. So why should the product i own be dynamically changed from its original functionality by sony when i own the freaking thing and paid for the hardware with my own money .

its like saying if you own a Chrysler , Chrysler has the right to recall you car and change the color of your seats when every they see fit.
its not fair, its a violation of my consumer rights and we wont stand for it.

In reply to Kyzer. You don't own the hardware, your licencing it. Sony still owns the PS3 and have the right to lock it up. You agreed to this licencing deal when you purchased the PS3, that is how sony is going about it. Personally I agree with you once I have paid for hardware it should be mine and if I choose to modify it I should be allowed to. Sony are also doing this with the viao laptops, people can't even take it apart to put in a bigger HDD.

In reply to Anonymous. It's "suing" as in filing a legal lawsuit (see how that works?), not sewing as in sewing needle.

I personally loathe it when Sony starts ‘sewing’ people. I mean, where do these corporate giants get off on thinking that they can treat people like cloth!? Jesus Christ, I thought that suing people was going far enough.
