Honestly, everyone is over exaggerating about this. PS3 and all Sony products are good the way they are, If you really want to hack and mod and crap, do it on a PC. Sony is just keeping their products in order and making sure everyone has a good gaming experience. I wouldn't want to get a PS3 for Christmas then try to play online and have it ruined because of mods and hacks. I know modded lobby's are fun, but with everyone having 3.55 CFW, it was getting a little out of hand.
I agree that modded consoles should not be allowed on PSN. That is fine.
What is not fine is that whenever the PS3 boots, it scans your hard drives, usb drives and even computers connected in the same network...without logging onto PSN. Hey its MY PS3...they took out an advertised feature(otherOS) and now they are installing rootkits? Did you even read their latest PSN terms and conditions? If you agree, they have the right to auto upgrade your firmware, delete unauthorized software...even if it is not pirated...like homebrew. There is much more.
You are basically giving away your rights as a consumer. I would advice you to read this TOS...it is just crazy.
