I agree with you. Regardless of what result has been, the ensuing path has been one of vacillation and dirty tricks.
@Johnny_Drama: I don't think that's an honest argument. True, Sony is not forcing him at gunpoint to buy a new model, but how does it really endorse Sony when a consumer is subjected to the following processes?
1.) They bring out a costly product with impressive features.
2.) They eliminate some of the impressive features in the hardware to save costs.
3.) Despite customer outrage, Sony gives no indication if the features will ever be incorporated into future models. It is heavily implied that the change is
permanent, due to lack of straight answers from the parent company.
3.) They eliminate the
last of the impressive features (OtherOS).
4.) Insert legal events concerning Hotz, Chokolo, et. all, here.
5.) They suddenly bring out a new model that incorporates some of the cut features, presumed to be gone forever, due to Sony's unwillingness to talk about it in-depth.
6.) Elation, suspicion and...Profit!
Your rejoinder does not really allow us to critically ascertain this recent development, all the while keeping Sony's marketing history with the PS3 in mind. Sony is not god, and it does not move in mysterious ways.
Edit: Not compatible, then? Back to the drawing board....
