Quote:Sony has announced that the next PS3 system software update — firmware 3.21 — is  slated to hit the PlayStation Notwork on April 1 and will remove the OtherOS feature present on units prior to the slimline revision, due to “security concerns.”

While Sony neglected to delve into further detail, these “security concerns” likely stem from the discovery of an exploit credited to famed iPhone hacker George “geohot” Hotz. Nothing usable to the average end-user has materialized yet, however, it’s clear that the looming threat of piracy has led Sony to take precautionary measures.

While the update itself is an optional one, by opting out you will no longer be able to sign into PSN nor play PS3 titles that require firmware 3.21 or later.

Wait, I have Ubuntu installed, what will happen to that???

I saw it coming and fudge you Sony... I like my other OS.

so I'm guessing it's about the custom theme thing the other day?
may be it's possible to have a CFW with the help of otherOS?

*shrug* don't really care anyway.

A team of 30 devs is trying to find out as wee speak and has been for some time now.

I hope the 1st thing they or anyone releases is a mod to boot into Linux to show Sony it's to late.

it might as well be the first time sony is faster than CFW devs on anything FW related =|

easier for Sony with that PSN FW requirement..

Interesting...

Bastards...  
So poeple who now use Other OS will either have to reformat their PS3 HDD, or they will lose a wasted 10/20 GB of space ?!?  


ugghhhh....

you have to copy all files you used with linux, you won't be able to reach them after the update,.

c'mon sony,. stop tripping about the $$$ and make some new music visualizers,.

*facepalm*

I just noticed this thread...

Since when is a update a downgrade?

Users with a Linux OS installed, that partition will be inaccessible after the update.

I hope this is an April Fool's joke, but I doubt it.
