bran said:So true lol. "Other OS" is the only thing that kept the hackers that only want Linux from hacking the PS3 to get Linux on.
Except that this isn't going to magically disable the PS3 Linux boxes already out there. Anyone who 'only wants Linux' and bought the machine just to play with a Cell-based Linux box can skip the update. Sure, that means giving up PSN and online play, but if all they care about is hobby hacking, then that shouldn't be a big deal.
