yeah, i just read up on this a bit. lol people are upset. I personally think it is a jerk move from sony. Just because several weeks ago they squashed rumors that they would eliminate other os functionality. lol. they didnt even wait for people to forget they said that before they removed it. awesome. It’s not a big deal to me really. It’s just too bad we’ll never get emulation on it. It would be cool to play those random games that will never be released again. like 3rd strike or red earth.
I take it you have Linux installed or plan on installing Linux?
Took me like 4 hours to backup/re-copy everything cuz of the new firmware. I used Linux a bunch so this update blows for me 
Time to save up for a real computer I guess.
Also, anyone who has beaten GOW3. Would you suggest I buy it, or rent it? Is there stuff to do after you beat it/ is there DLC coming?
I’d say rent it, myself.
Unless you want to go through it on all difficulties.
Then you can rent it twice. 
Btw - you still gonna main Rose come Super?
I haven’t touched 4 since I bodied everyone at MWC last year in casuals:rofl
Rent it. I made the mistake of buying it, thinking it was going to live up to my expectations which it didn’t.
wait wait, half the reason you bought a ps3 was for the linux os, but you had never used it ever?
im outi

I don’t have linux or have currently have plan to install linux, but i might change my mind in the future, but not in a foreseeable future. This is a stand up for Sony telling them that their practice is illegal. It is again consumer right and people need to do something about at, and the least I can do is boycott Sony.
I pretty much feel this way. It is a jerk move, even if I wasn’t planning on using it. Thx Sony.
That’s pretty much what 99% of the baaaaaw!-ing is about. If this move prevents more of those damn “This is a mandatory update that does nothing more than improve stability of some games you don’t own and will never buy” system updates, I’m all for it.
On a side note, why has the American PSone Classics library been stacked up with so much garbage in recent weeks?
but how will i run Wine on my ps3 now nooooooo
Hey…anybody notice wierd stuff going on in Uncharted 2? Like sometimes when you melee somebody to death, they go flying across the room like you’re Superman or something?
Just weird ragdoll effects. I played in the beta, got stuck on a piece of vertical cover, in full release I got stuck in a box. In full release multi I had a buddy playing elimination, and when we all died he turned invisible and killed everyone. I wish we had video of it. 
No because I had lent my PS3 to my brother and he took 2 years sending it back to me so i never got the chance to install Linux on the system. I only finally got it back in December. I was going to install Linux, but I never got a chance to and now I never will. Fuckin bullshit.
^^^ oh well, sucks. but on sony’s end its starting to look like the right move.
people are supposedly tearing down sony’s security bit by bit, and getting the regular gamer away from the security hole is the best way to prevent mass piracy.
i dunno what anything in this thread is saying, but i’m assuming its one of those things sony was trying to avoid by taking out otheros:

So whats a good place to look for Ps3 themes? Most of the places I get on Google have lots of naked chicks and thats not exactly the kind of Theme I’m looking for.
Have you tried here?
They haven’t had an update in a while, but maybe you’ll still find something good.
Removing features that were on a console when you bought it is a crappy move, bawling or not. Arguing by saying “Why would you put another OS on it anyway and use it like a PC?” always makes me laugh because why use the internet browser when using one on a PC is that much easier?
I never used the feature. It sucks that they removed something that I paid to have but Sony wouldn’t be the first instance of this happening. That doesn’t make it right though, it is a dick move in my opinion. The people that bought fat PS3s over Slims exclusively for this feature must be pretty pissed off right about now.
What about this one (And I can do it EVERY time, reliably): die with revenger booster and one grenade, but somehow toss a grenade just before you die, in addition to your revenge grenade.
