Sony Update Bricks Playstations
Stoobalou writes "A controversial update which was seeded by Sony in order to remove the ability to run Linux on the Playstation 3 games console has caused a storm of complaints.
The 3.21 firmware upgrade, which removes the security hole provided by the 'Install Other OS' widget used by lots of educational institutions and hackers alike, also removes the console's ability to play games... turning it into a very expensive doorstop."
Clearly the article said it turned it into an expensive brick!
It's a front for the Iraqi-Italian axis and this "bricking" is part of their war on the Christian American Family. What we need is Communism, and ham.
UNITE with the Campaign for a Free Internet because today, our future begins with tomorrow!
He wasn't talking about the vapor-hardware gaming consoles called Pandora, I think he meant one you can actually use. Hey maybe Pandora will release with a copy of Duke Nukem Forever.
"You'll note the very low number of posts against each of these user in the forums too"
Every major PS3 firmware update and game release has pathetic and desperate Xbox fanboys racing to console forums creating dummy accounts making up inane stories about bricked PS3s.
Owning the worst console in history, the Xbox 360 and its unprecedented garbage hardware, has created a bunch of foaming at the mouth nutcases desperate to smear other consoles in hopes it will somehow salvage the reputation of their piece of crap Xbox 360s.
She the founder?
I think since Sony gave their customers a $300 brick everybody that this happened to should promptly give Sony $300 worth of actual bricks through their headquarters windows. Mortaring them all together into one big chunk beforehand is optional.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Recently, as a reward for getting straight 'A's I took my son to a CompUSA and told him he could have any computer he wanted. Imagine my disgust when he selected a mac mini. It's as if I took him to a whorehouse for his first lay and he wound up giving head to the bouncer. Where did I fail as a father?
that interest in hacking the PS3 was near nonexistent before the Slim came out (sans Other OS), except for a couple Linux folks trying to poke holes in the hypercall interface to get access to the GPU.
someone donate this guy a mod point.

Taking your son to CompUSA...or a whorehouse.
