Sad day, what's next for playstation owners Sony?

  Ordinarily I'd just say reformat it and install Linux, but....

    Linux installation is easy piece of cake to HN audience, but nightmare to normal people.

      Sony yanked linux support from PS3s after thousands of users had already paid for it. Tally that in the "Reasons to no longer support Sony" column.

        Somewhat untrue. You could still use linux, but just not in combination with continued (free) PSN access.
        • marshray 15y ago
          That was the theory anyway. Now we don't have PSN access either. We kept the family PS3 patched-up in good faith. Is there now a reasonable way for me to install Linux? Seriously, the kids are probably moving to Xbox and I have some supercomputing I'd like to do.

            I'd like to know this too... I assume that now the keys have been discovered, PS3 should be fully retaskable?
