I really wish PSN Thursday wasn’t on April 1st. I never know WHAT to believe.
So one of the features Sony pushed super hard core during PS3 Marketing, the ability to load on your own OS, is not being taken completely away from every one, even early adopters ?Hah. What a fucking joke. So for PS4 are we gonna start taking bets on what features we will be promised and the slowly but surely have taken away with each new system “update”? Say what you will about the 360 breaking down least they fix it for free and it does everything you where promised it would do.
Still love my PS3 hugs
This is true. I have doubts, though, that they’re removing a feature that is essentially the only known hole in the ps3’s security just because they can.
On the other hand, it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna help much if the community is just going to respond with “fuck you, we’re going to not update and install the eventual CFW just to spite you.”
man this is some ol bullshiz. aint the ps3 supposed to do everything? i even remember seeing a video when the ps3 was first out of some dudes that were working with sony to make the like official linux distro for ps3 or something and now they want to take it away. the reason why I got the ps3 was cause I thought sony got it. I thought they understood the PS3 is an amazing piece of technology and people should be able to play with it and now they gonna take it away. geohot seems unfazed so I hope he hacks and chops up da PS3.
Wow is April Fools early this year or something :looney:
Sony To Charge Everyone For PSN Subscription?
Just hearsay & conjecture at this point. But yeah, if that one turned out to be true, the Interwebz is sure to explode…and I’d be right there with them.
If that happened, there’d be lawsuits out the asspipe.
Even the Japanese would RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE at that.
My question with the otherOS removal is whether or not it affects consoles that have already installed a 2nd os? I mean, if it doesn’t affect those people what’s the big deal? I would imagine that most of the people that wanted to put linux on their ps3 have already done so. Now, if I did have linux on my ps3 and I got it all haxxorz 1337 I’d be pissed if the new fw update wiped it all. But will the new update do that, or just remove the option for those who haven’t already?
Sue for what? Sony has no legal obligation to keep up a service if they choose to and if the courts forced them to keep PSN free, I bet you anything Sony will let it become a shitty system and implementing a side service for those willing to pay.
It will remove already existing installs.
“It only does everything”. Except for let you use other OSes like it used to, sorry.
Removing features instead of adding them FTL, even if I didn’t make use of it. I still want my goddamn BC back, BTW.
EDIT: Sony starting to charge for PSN would open a big ass can of nerdrage from a lot of people, hopefully for their sake that’s an April Fool’s joke.
you never even own an og ps3 so how could you even make use of it lol.
Thus my point. I didn’t make use of it, but other people did.
I’m pretty sure that, given all of the advertisements and documented official assertions by Sony that PSN, “Is and always will be free”, that there are more than enough legal grounds on which consumers could rightfully expect to win a suit against them, were Sony to try and pull off this underhanded, greedy, money-grubbing coup on all of us.
They’d practically be ***giving ***their opposition the win; not only in this generation, but in the next as well - only the most diehard fanboy would sit still through this without giving his monies to MS/whomsoever is SOny’s console competition in the next generation.
If you click on the link, it’s been updated and states that it was just an April Fool’s joke by the website PS3Clan. It’s fake.
Yeah, the last time I checked the site, it had the author of the article posting in the comments assuring everyone he was quoting direct truth verbatim, lol.

Geohot says he’ll have custom firmware for the PS3 in a week.
I Guess Cyrus won the Tester? read the photo comments.

If PS3 does start charging for PSN, I won’t play games anymore.
For BC and downloadable PS2/Dreamcast games… I would pay no problem
ill pay monthly for a subscription to the PSN video store and if they bring comics to the PS3!
Shit I already have qore, the others will be the icing on the cake.
