(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Honestly, my opinion is that i think Sony deserved what they got. Only because of people jailbreaking they got a lot more strict with all the agreements and such. I only jailbreak to transfer patches AND THATS A CRIME!?!? Also i do believe that people who used .pkg's to get free stuff should get punished criminaly for STEALING. im not hatin' or anything about that-----------------------^ And for all the people that groaned at this thread, i feel bad for you. Because all i am trying to do is to reflect on how SONY reacted and what happened to their severs in CaLi, Im trying to hear what people think, Groaning is ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!!! Also -rep wow really cool also POINTLESS

They deserve it 100%

you sound so stupid right now, piracy is ILLEGAL not fine, when i mod most of the time its not for "unfair advantage" im probably the only person who HELPS everyone in the lobby.

Sony got what they deserved,they have had a good run until now with pushing for bluray and crushing hi def dvd,putting silient install rootkit software on there music cds which screwed peoples pc's
Its the customers I feel for they brought a product which clearly stated what you could do with it and then sony changed the rules to suit them.
So **** sony.

everyone is entitled to there opinion, but some people flame for what people think which is very annoying :yuno:

you sir are a dumbass
DUMBASS

I personally don't think that they deserved it. They were being strict with about the jailbreaking because they didn't want pirated games.

1st of its not "common knowledge" its only common knowledge to people who are on psn all the time. someone who used the linux feature only then bought a game does not know this. also the airforce was running on linux ps3 and there in on the law suit vs sony. you know what it is to have a section of the air force down due to updating your fw. and i would link you but i know its FACTUAL so why dont you do some work and search. it was posted on NGU a few weeks back right after the ddos attack from ANON

You could still have every feature the system had when you bought it. The ToS clearly state that features may change, and the ToS may change at any time. You knew exactly what you would lose in a software update, it was your choice to agree to the new ToS - no one as forcing you to update. The cds I'm not going to touch on - that was wrong. As for Bluray vs HD DVD, I'll take Bluray. It can hold more content, and while the HD DVD may win some categories, as an overall I feel the quality of a Bluray is of higher quality.

And they didn't "change the rules to suit them." They changed the rules by removing Other OS to protect intellectual property and prevent security risks.

While you are entitled to your opinion, please don't bias them because you are against them. You have to think of this in a neutral way. A small percent of users used Other OS, so when it was removed - it wasn't that big an issue. Now everyone is complaining because of Sony's response on CFW, because a much larger percent of users were using it (many for piracy.) People can't just jump on the bandwagon that 'Oh, screw Sony! They took away Other OS' because most of the people using this argument didn't even use Other OS, and the majority of CFW users didn't use it for Homebrew, except for running modified patches and piracy reasons.

I can agree, that Sony did not handle this situation in the best of ways, but then again Sony should never had been in this situation. The fault lies on both ends - hackers wanting to get back at Sony because they disagreed with Sony's ways of protecting players and developers, and Sony's fault for having such an insecure system.

No.... Sony deals exclusively with the Air Force and distributes them modified systems. These consoles are not standard consumer issue, as they have GameOS and other levels removed in order to add security and limit security loop holes. The Air Force IS IN NO WAY IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST SONY. Why the hell would a supercomputer need to update its firmware to play new games?

Stop getting your 'factual' information from forums and actually read legitimate news outlets and research.


Also - on the back games:


Anything that is not common knowledge is explicitly stated in the ToS that is featured on all games. You should be aware of what you are agreeing to before you click accept.

yet again flaming over someones opinion GET A LIFE
