"Install Other OS" Feature Removed From the PS3
Hann1bal writes "The next system software update for the PlayStation 3 system will be released on April 1, 2010 (JST), and will disable the 'Install Other OS' feature that was available on the PS3 systems prior to the current slimmer models, launched in September 2009. This feature enabled users to install an operating system, but due to security concerns, Sony Computer Entertainment will remove the functionality through the 3.21 system software update."

This is BS, I don't see this being a good PR move, Possibly might even fall into
The problem is you fed the troll a load of Microsoft sponsored horse shit...
You don't use JUST the GPU on PS3, you use it in conjunction with the Cell.
This is why PS3 exclusives are so much better than anything out there (including PC games). When you use it the right way, it's 10x more powerful than anything the XBox can manage. When you do a 360 game and port it across, you don't use the PS3 in the way it was designed to be, and are infact being hampered by the Xbox limitations...
