Re: New Firmware Update to Remove Optional OS Installation on Older Models.
 

That's right. I'm quite sick of the "customer is always last" approach the gaming industry has adopted lately.

Honestly, I'll probably never use the feature, but I don't like losing it, and I don't think it's fair to have to lose it because Sony is panicking over a hack. It would be better for them to deal with the hacker (GeoHot) or patch the security hole than to strip everyone else's alternate OS privileges away

I'm waiting on Sony to hopefully buckle in and return the feature if that ever happens.
