<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>PlayStation 3 Firmware Upgrade Eliminates "Other Operating System" Option
Sony PlayStation 3 users will no longer be able to run Linux and other operating systems on the popular game console after Sony releases a new version of its PS3 firmware this week.
According to a posting on the PlayStation blog, Sony will release version 3.21 of the PS3 firmware this Thursday, April 1, that will disable the "install other OS" feature that allowed gamers to install Linux or other operating systems on the hardware.

Has Sony done anything right with this console? First they removed BC, now they are removing the ability to install another OS. What's next, the ability to upgrade the HDD? crazy.gif
The selling points of their system are being clipped one by one.
