Yeah I understand, I think you mean without instead of with for the PS3 1.1.

Now I'm not trying to troll and respect and understand the logic behind those stating we did not lose those features (except for Linux of course). So even though I agree that I didn't directly lose those features on my PS3 (cause I got what I paid for) the PS3 as a whole over time did (This is another fact which can not be denied).

Now with that in mind

I kind of see it like this.
If a thief (Company) takes money (Features) away from your parents (Older PS3 Models) is it not like they are taking money away from you ( Modern PS3 you Own)?

Again I don't mean to be annoying so please don't be frustrated with my persistence.

flawed logic... the older ps3 (parents) don't provide for the newer PS3 (kids)

Would you call Lian-Li thiefs because the K63 model is less superior than the K62 model?

Well its more like the kids are the ps3, parents are sony and the kids allowance are the PS3 Features.

The parents took away the kids allowance.
Which is what has happened its just that, that example fails to include us in it.

still flawed logic....

in the kids example, he actually loses something, while someone with a PS3 will not. The allowance thing works for OtherOS though

And although sony didn't physically take away my USB ports they did take away my OtherOS Feature I had when I first bought my PS3.

That is all.

i know, which is why i said i was no longer buying sony products. that is the only legit reason to have beef with sony over the ps3 at this time.

i just dont see how any consumer can have a problem with a manufacturer who sells a product as advertised...

That is a mind bogglingly moronic statement. A world where people don't complain simply because they can't personally change something is a world of ignorance. And your basic point doesn't even make sense. Who says it can't be changed? A large enough number of complaints would likely lead to a change. If you love your ps3 so much that you have to defend it in an unreasonable manner then fine, but don't go around name calling because of your illogical obsession.

i said he was complaining about something "he cannot change." i didnt say he is complaining about something he can change. context clues and all...

maybe SACD and ps2 were taken out of the 40GB?

yeh you may be right mine was bought 2nd hand and is a 40 with those bits gone

and i would have liked a choice of new ones, not just their latest cheepest with some more bits missing (was my orig point), consoles shouldnt change so much as not everyone is tech savy i bet most dont know whats on theirs or not till they need it.

and for me thats not fair,what a company like sony sells you as a lifestyle choice(consoloeing is an individual and fashion choice) should essentially stay the same within that generation, im sick of hearing rumours the new slim is faster/better, i didnt buy one when they came out because i got a ps2 for 300 odd uk pounds 1st day, few years later there was a new 1 for 10p that looked like it was worth 10p but played better not something i appreciated or thought fair.

if they aren't techsavvy, SACD and linux are gibberish for them, they would never use more than 2 USB ports, and some won't even know there was backwards compatibility to begin with!

The Slim = bigger HDD, cooler PS3 (no Yellow light of death), faster load times, smaller size.

Also, PS2s even today aren't 10pounds, they sell alot still

I'm not whining, I find that insulting. Is this what you resort to?

I did in fact buy the stripped down version, cause thats all that is on the market today. I have no choice, no say, only 2 USB ports and no backwards compatibility.

And no, we have no one to blame but Sony for designing, redesigning, adding and taking away features at their will and their discretion.

And if you plan to tell me to go look on ebay if I want 4 USB ports so baddly then you sir fail to see my point and I will gladly stop here. (Just in case...)

OMG if ya want 4 USB ports get a powered USB unit..

I did not notice SONY ever saying it was a feature to be able to run another OS on there system so they done now wrong. And if your so upset about buying a PS3 fully knowing that running another OS was most unlikely possible is your own fault.

Would be nice if SONY did support other OS's but it's their option and so is buying one.

To be honest i cannot see why people bitch about it so much there is nothing wrong with what it comes with.

If there is some thing to bitch about the PS3 it's the frigging PS3 remote when playing Blu Ray \ DVD's.

You quoted me and said "you". So I assumed you were responding to my comments.

Complaining won't magically make 2 USB ports pop into your PS3 :rolleyes:

Also, if Sony would have put the original 60GB PS3 for sale at 699$, would anyone buy it? would they make any profit?

What? Yes? You gonna tell me there's not tooth fairy next? It would have to be a new model, obviously. The second part I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me.

Poetic justice?

The long-running patent dispute between LG and Sony over Blu-Ray technology just got serious - a European court has approved a ten day ban on imports of Playstation 3s into Europe.

A court ruling in the Hague last week means Sony's game console and its Bravia TVs could disappear from the High Street in the next few weeks. European customs are obliged to block any imports of the popular consoles, and Dutch authorities have already seized devices.

Sony holds very little stock in its channel, according to sources, and shops could start struggling to find stock within two to three weeks.

LG can either seek to extend the ban, or Sony could appeal the ruling, the Guardian reports. The Reg has also recently heard the story from our own sources: Sony, LG, HM Revenue & Customs and Dutch patent authorities were all unwilling to comment on Friday.

LG is seeking a similar ban in the US. There are seven patents at stake in the dispute.

What I'm saying is that they took out the USBs and the other features to save $$. If you wanted those features, they would have to come out with something similar to the 60GB fat PS3, which was priced at 699$ and sony was losing $$ off of it. Even if it is 500$ now or wtv, noone would buy it and sony would lose $$

AFAIK Fat PS3s were sold advertising OtherOS, but people didn't really have a choice and didn't have OtherOS, sold not as advertised

i think your missing the point sony were forever making whatever they make cheaper but they dont take the bluetooth off sureshots or the cameras out of walkman phones or the remotes off bravias cos they cant/couldnt without effin uproar yet they do this against supposed pirates but actually there own most loyal customers its about percentages yeh but for them about percentage complaints/disaprovers v money

I bought my PS3 for Linux. It is not functioning.

I want to make MY ps3 function with Linux, but Sony doesn't like me doing that either.
