"Given the statement of what you lose if you don't upgrade (i.e. PSN access) it gives the impression that by wishing to retain your Linux access, you are somehow doing something you should not. Akin to 360 users being banned from Live for playing pirated games. Not the same by any means, but again, it's that perception amongst many that is being circulated, and while not entirely accurate, it casts Sony in a negative light.
"George Hotz was not going to do anything more than release his exploit according to his own blog, and then let everyone play in his sandbox. Now he is behind creating custom firmware to maintain the OtherOS feature, the very thing Sony doesn't want. If everyone gets behind this, and views the OtherOS as a martyr (which is happening) it's going to do nothing but force piracy as a backlash. Or at the very least find more exploits that previously might not have known."

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
These April Fools jokes are just getting lame
look the slim ps3s dont have other os anyway witch is the only ps3 for sale so really no removing it from systems that have already been sold wont hurt sony and out of the 33.5 million ps3s sold only about 100,000 people use other os so who cares people really grow up and for people that do use it if it so important put linux on your pc are dont update really
I don't use "Other OS" and I don't feel it will be a PR disaster for Sony, and I don't entirely agree with this article that the loss of "Other OS" will drive piracy through this "custom firmware", as that's a lot of speculation and extrapolation.
However, for anyone to tell someone who wants to keep the Other OS option "don't update, then" seems unreasonable. Sony are presenting Other OS users with an ultimatum, a dilemma. Either way, they will lose features. "Don't update" isn't exactly a valid option unless you never use the PS3 for it's main features.
All the PS3's that can do this are already in peoples hands. WTF is wrong with these bloggers?
well we can only hope so.
