Sony Should Pay For OtherOS Removal, Says Finnish Board

Posted by timothy on from the seems-only-fair dept.

x*yy*x writes "According to Consumer Board in Finland, Sony should pay up 100 euros to a console owner for OtherOS removal. The board said that the removal of OtherOS crippled console features that were present at the time of purchase and agreed that consumers should be compensated. Sony tried to point out that the user agreed to the PS3 EULA, but the consumer board noted that such agreements can't go around consumer laws."

    Idiots weren't happy with the Linux playground they were given to them, no, they wanted more, they wanted to break through the hypervisor. Well, they managed to get more privileges.

    I understand a talking snake and a naked chick was involved somewhere, and something about Apple. A lot has been lost in translation, apparently.
