I bought a Sony Playstation 3, which could run Linux with Sony's blessing.
Sony later decided not only to discontinue the Linux support in newer models, but to retroactively disable the capability to run Linux on old-model consoles in the wild with a software update that was included with, and required to play, all disc games released after a certain date, and also required for online play.
As a result of these decisions by Sony, I have not bought any Playstation 3 games, or any Sony product, since then. Sony and its developers have lost out on hundreds of my dollars over the past few years. I will completely stay away from Sony in the next console generation.
