Sony has only itself to blame for why I will never buy their products again.

Now if I could just get some CFW that would allow me to play my backup PS1 and PS2 games on my 60gigger, I could finally retire my aged, chipped PS2.
You're mad a Sony for protecting their online servers XD LMAO!

OH NOES! Sony finally actively supporting their product. It's tragic that people feel it's their rights that have been compromised.

Is it me or are people not reading the statement properly? This feature is only implented into the 3.56, so if you're on 3.55 CFW nothing's going to happen to you since you've got no access to PSN other than the proxy way. What he's basically saying is if 3.56 CFW is made and any one of you updates to it to use it will be detected by Sony.

I'm mad that I can't even go and get demo's to new games or go to the storefront - where I could maybe BUY something - without accepting what is basically an intrusive and needless update.

I'm mad at Sony for forcing me to choose between being able to run Linux, and play games I buy for the thing.

I'm mad at Sony for unapologetically creating an update that blocks and bricks a bunch of legit devices in a ham-fisted way of trying to block jailbreaking the system. It manages to be almost as bad - if not worse - than the lovely rootkitted music CD's they pressed out to unsuspecting buyers.

And I'm mad that Sony neutered the PS3 as a whole, ensuring that I have to pay whatever they want to charge for ransom if this thing YLOD's, which after having one do so, I'm already more afraid of that than my 360 red ringing. And at least with the Xbox, I'm NOT losing functionality or usability for going with a newer model. I'd be glad to pack it up and sell it off and just go with emulation on my PC, if any of the PS1/2 emulators ever worked right.

All this does is make me want to buy MORE on Xbox Live marketplace just to spite them. Voting with my wallet, as they say.

Wow you are sounding like a small entitled child... "Woes me, I can't download demos because I pirate games." You act as if it is your right to hack the system when it's not. Also how can something be "Almost as bad" but then you say "worse" your hyperbole makes no sense. And all it seems like is you reaching for straws trying to find something to complain about because you did something you were never meant to do and are now being punished for it. QQ some more.

No, you QQ some more. Whatever the fuck that means.

Reaching for straws? How about it's the truth? Or is your fanboyism so high that you can't understand that much?

Now please be quiet, as the adults are talking.

You're coming at this all wrong. If his argument was about pirating, it wouldn't be an issue, because he'd just get his games that way. But on the other hand, the loudest voice is just not to purchasee/use their products if you don't like their policies and actions.

Saw this one coming...
I love how the psp problem wasn't touched like this at all tho. Sony doesn't care ever since NGP ;P

This will hopefully deter people from hacking their consoles in the future. You can't possibly expect a company to just take this abuse....

If you switch back to OFW you'll probably be safe from console bans tho (if they happen). Sony might be forgiving. Just use the wipe tool they made a few weeks ago. (Idr the name...) BUT then again, with the growing PS3 hacking community there could be a fix quite soon.

I also share the same opinion. However, I really do not want to sacrifice PSN but... I like using my PS3 for homebrew and backups. I'll just wait a bit to see what will happen in 3.56 and later firmwares.

Adults don't complain nearly as much as you do. Adults also have a job and don't sit around complaining about being treated badly because they hacked a video game console all day. Also yes your arguments were reaching for straws and hold no real weight at all. Half of your complaints barely affected anyone and you're easily turning a mole hill into a mountain for the sake of having something to complain about. And no this isn't fanboy statements, it is a rational discussion, I'm not surprised you didn't know any different. Your hyperbolic statements do not help your case at all. An update that stops you from being able to hack your system is needless? Oh that's right, you're the one who's angry at Sony for trying to protect their system... You knew the situation before you started hacking your console you knew you couldn't get on PSN if you went through with it, and now you complaining because you can't is showing how entitled feel you are.

Going to keep 3.55 CFW! Stuff PSN i knew it was going to happen.I only play 1 game on it. And i can play that on my WII anyway, so it doesnt look as smooth who cares the game play is the same. You shoot people they die. With kids i get a lot of usless discs that i have to get resurfaced.Now i can put them away just like the Wii discs.

$10 says codezer0 doesn't even have Linux OS on his PS3
Did, but after repeated attempts at unsuccessfully getting zerogame to work, and with new games I did buy requiring the update, I finally had enough. Running 3.41 with PS3Break dongle currently... waiting for AsbestOS to hopefully improve things (go fail0verflow!).

Want to run 3.55CFW so I can at least start playing some newer games. Roomie bought himself some games that he was willing to let me borrow while he plays others online, but a few already require 3.50 to play. Even PAIN (one of the few PSN titles I do own, while I got more thanks to sharing accounts with my brother) required updating past 3.15.

Currently ticked now that X-Men arcade is out... the six-players on one console functionality was the one reason I wanted to buy it for PS3 as opposed to Xbox 360. Only reason that I hadn't bought it on 360 yet is because it's 800 MSP as opposed to 400 it was, all too briefly.

Also, it is a different thing compared to Microsoft's setup. With the Xbox, even if the console got banned, that doesn't stop you from running newer games; at most you might need to update the dash, like for Kinect and stuff, but you can still use the console. Online multiplayer is pretty low on my priorities... I use the online aspects of both systems more for trying out new demos and download-only games to see what would be worth my dollars, despite what the other poster accuses me of.

I also am a firm believer in the principle that once you purchase something, it's for you to do as you see fit, so long as it isn't harming anyone else directly. I appreciate the homebrew being made for Wii and ps3 currently, and I also firmly agree that those that choose to cheat online should be banned swiftly. But for god's sake, how about some middle ground here? I'm not asking about pirating PSN titles or running aimbots or something here. I just want to be able to at least access the storefront and actually be able to buy some newer games. But some people on this thread apparently don't get that.
