ChronicleX said:Sony will have no choice but to restore other OS support. They seem to have no idea how many laws the removal of features is. If you buy something that can do *insert thing it can do here* that suddenly cannot do *insert thing here* then it is a faulty product and the customer is entitled to a replacement.
They got away with it when they took backwards compatibility away as they advertised it as a new model that did not have this feature. Same applies to the new slim PS3 with other OS support being removed, they advertised it as not having it so it is allowed. The device the customer bought still retains all the functionality the customer paid for.
In short, we paid for other OS support which is why removing it is illegal.
But no one is forcing you to remove it. PSN access is conditional. Playing 3.21+ firmware games are conditional.
Adobe photoshop cs4 requires windows xp service pack 2. Can people sue adobe for not providing workable binaries for windows xp w/ no service pack? I don't think so.
