Ok, i did brief search and found nothing posted about it here, i'm sure it was and i just didn't locate.






Haven't had my PS3 online in a while since i mainly use for bluerays and as a linux box.  Well i was given little big planet (AWESOME game btw), and wanted to DL some of the user created content, needed an update to get online.







So i finish downloading 3.21 and get all this, you can't use "other os" anymore bullshit, started looking online and get a big'ole WTF?!




I rarely game on my ps3, i play movies and run linux.  So my question to you gaming forum, is there punitive action that can be/is being taken towards sony for this bullshit?

Geohot has successfully created a custom 3.21 firmware that restores otheros functionality. Bad news for you unfortunately is that it can only be flashed with firmware 3.15 or older.

I remember the previous update had a big warning about how it specifically cut out the Other OS but this update might not have had such a warning.



PS3 Linux people are pretty few and far between so I doubt anything will come of it.  I was going to load it up before they cut off the Other OS functionality.



Blame the hackers.

i heard someone was trying to bring a lawsuit or some shit against sony for doing that when they released the update, aint heard anything since. I did run yellowdog 5.2 on mine, didnt use it much. was kind of pissed when they took otheros out.
