I specifally followed the PS3 market carefully, and made sure to buy a used PS3 that had the capability to install Linux. Installing it was a fun side-project, although I didn't use it much. Then I bought a game I really wanted to play, but it required the firmware update that would destroy the Linux. I've been upset, and was seriously considering buying another used PS3 just to be able to play my game on that.

So, I'm glad this finally won. I was disenfranchised by their obnoxious actions. Guiltily, I admit that the $55 I get back will probably go towards a used PS3 so I can play the game alongside my Linux-enabled PS3 :)
