Dont blame Sony. If GeoHot would have kept his mouth shut, then Sony would have NEVER removed the Install Other OS Feature.

@sk8ervzla

Geohot is actually fixing this, he is making a custom firmware that puts it back

I miss the good old day from ps1 n 2 when people didn't need to worry themselves with this crap...its like having a console that someone else controls,back in the days you were in charge ...you had your own shit and you liked to play with it as much as you wanted,but now its like playing with someone's else's shit (LOL)

@tylerblogger are u sure cos i never got to use linux on my ps3 and i bet when u start windows the start menu is slow aint it?

[hmongthaoboi]

Why r people so mad at this update I mean I install a few Linux os and it wasn't worth it, slow as heck. I'm glad they took it out (I'm a Linux guy but ps3 is not the system u want to use it from). For the ps3 hacking activity I think even I is hack coding homebrews on it would be a pain in the butt

This is 100% true I mean hasent anyone bothered to wonder whos security Sony is updating wll I can tell you that its not yours

[Cokiemonsta95]

i didint understand most of that s**t you just said

[Euroshopperbier]

douchebag

ofcourse it's for security reasons, just not end-user-secrurity.

[ThouChosenOne]

who cares about linux or what ever its called, im glad they removed it because now its harder to hack on

@gmorebel2007 ... Most games take up more than 7-8 GB on the PS3. Especially if you're talking about games that need to install on the ps3. The PS3 uses a completely different method of processing instructions. Some developers take advantage of this and to do so they need to use more space on the hard drive. Not to mention dummy files push the size up on games that don't use the full size.

@tylerblogger most games are not 50 gigs most are the same amount as the xbox 7-8 gigs not a problem for download at all so stop with ur BS

[tylerblogger]

@gmorebel2007 Well it does lead to piracy for some people. In the case of the ps3 though most people aren't going to have the bandwidth or patience to be downloading 50 gb ISO files for blu rays
