Sony at E3 2011

It's truly pathetic how many people say this is Sony's fault for going after Hotz, as if the victim is somehow responsible for the attack.

But the reasons you mention as to why it happened I don't agree with. The only reason it happened was because the people who attacked it had a vendetta against Sony for going after Geohotz.

I didn't know that.
I had no idea why it happened, all I knew is that it happened, and that it was 'sabotage' and not Sony's fault.

That's such a ridiculous reason, though.
Some fucking people.

Just to clarify, I never said it was Sony's fault, just the reason why it happened. And I agree with you. I mean, it's not like the dude found the cure for Cancer and Aids. He just put back a feature that Sony didn't want to take out but did because it could lead to piracy and they are the one company that cannot afford that. They give you a pricey system at a competitive price, free online gaming and only get money from the games and accessories. Plus they're at third place world wide. People have to realize that they only took the feature out to protect themselves. And yes, that's actually perfectly justified. 99% of the people who care about being able to boot up software from the HD only want to be able to pirate games. I'm a Linux enthusiast and linux on the PS3 wasn't really thrilling.
