Sony was asking for it in this case. I can understand why the ps3 slim had the feature discontinued but disabling the functionality on older consoles was severely overreaching. Especially since in the early ps3 days sony actively sold these machines as cheap ps3 devboxes so that developers could use the ps3 to become familiar with the underlying architecture.

This move by Sony may affect research as PS3s were being used for cheap supercomputing power. http://www.ps3cluster.umassd.edu/ http://www.ps3cluster.umassd.edu/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster
