Sony to disable PlayStation 3 operating system feature
Found on BBC News on Monday, 29 March 2010
The firm said that an update to be released on 1 April will prevent people using a function that allows them to install alternative operating systems.
The move comes after a US hacker released the first code that he claimed bypassed the PS3's security systems.
"It's about whether these companies have the right to take away advertised features from a product you purchased."
Hackers will fix this. Just like always before. In the end, it won't really help anybody. But ok, let's just say I share these security concerns: instead of relying on an update, I will just refuse to buy anything from Sony; they have screwed over cosumers more than once. Problem solved.
