To Hell with you, Sony! Bunch of scaredy birds... I'll never buy a console again, if it's not already hacked and ready to be used as it should be used, and is manipulated in whatever way the manufacturer wants, not caring for their customers. In other words, f*** you PS4, if you get to be like PS3.

To Hell with you, Sony, to Hell!!!

Yes you can, read this tutorial to bypass PS3 firmware update and still connect to PSN.

Well, here's my reaction on this:

First of all if they are serious and want to release a firmware update on April the 1st then they're probably joking. Happy April's fools.

Secondly I red somewhere that Sony can block this feature and pay for lawsuits when the minority of users get angry about this. They are still better off with paying for lawyers then dealing with piracy.

What about their partners like YD Linux and such ?

Now the third thing is as far as "research" goes. No one is planning on hacking GameOS at the moment (at least the serious "devs" have claimed this). I just don't understand why they couldn't just patch the Hypervisor and play Cat & Mouse with the hackers? Looks like $ony is just not getting enough money out of this business or they're too greedy. They have plenty of ways to solve this problem but instead they play dirty on their users.

Last but not least, the users are going to get really angry about this. Even people who have never thought they would do something like hacking a console, would get furious about this. This would only be fuel on the fire and attract more hackers. They started it by removing the possibility to use OtherOS on the slim consoles and now if it's not a joke then they're planning to remove a feature that allowed legal homebrew. (Sounds like madness to me, most of the hackers hack consoles just because of this. So far they were kept away, cause some legal homebrew was available through OtherOS)

Anyway if anything happens then just simply don't update, though i still think they're joking :aetsch:

Ugh, i hope to God they are joking. Not a very nice joke either, may i add.I dont know they would jump updates though, that just that just doesn't add up. Perhaps it was posted just for us to cack our pants? XD

[davidbb]

personally I don't care, for me linux was a big let down and virtually useless to me. and if/when any real user friendly hack comes about i fully expect it to be hardware based anyway such as a modchip.

PS3 Proxy, here I come. On thursday we'll see if this is actually an early April fools joke or if $ony is dead serious on this one.

[aries2k]

I do hope this is one lame ass April fools joke or their going to have alot of pissed off customers. Is this the treatment the early adopters get?.
no way, I paid to have that feature.
what happened to FW 3.2??

[gliitch]

Linux was only put on to avoid tax costs, no wonder they made so cack and slow. Also with the right coders full Linux access (from the start) would have been a very bad idea for Sony but fantastic for the likes of us. If this is true they will have a lawsuit, and well I don't think they would want to risk it.

[Pirate]

Why would they pull an April Fools joke, especially on this matter.

Also I do not think there can be a lawsuit as they announced before hand that this feature was going to removed and the update is optional (even though you loose connecting to PSN).
