PlayStation 3 Owner Gets A $100 Refund For Losing Linux
OtherOS . , . , amazon ( ) SONY.At least one PlayStation 3 owner has found the silver lining in Sony's decision to axe the option to install other operating systems like Linux to the console, obtaining a rather substantial refund from Amazon.com for his PS3 purchase.
European PS3 owner and NeoGAF forum moderator "iapetus" received more than $100 USD (84.00) in credit from Amazon for his original purchase of the console. Why? He filed a complaint with the online retailer that the removal of functionality in the PlayStation 3's latest firmware update violated a 2002 European law, essentially that his console no longer performed as advertised.
As reported by PlayStation University, that law specifies that goods must "be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase," a responsibility that falls to the seller to uphold, not the manufacturer.
Whether other customers will have similar luck in receiving refunds for their PlayStation 3 consoles from retailers, now "Install Other OS"-free is unclear. Whether their only gratification will be venting their anger over the loss on the official PlayStation.com forums sounds more likely.
Some PS3 owners desperate to keep Linux and the "Install Other OS" option on their consoles may have hope in the work of one hacker, trying (and possibly succeeding) in keeping the original feature intact.

..: - ( SONY ).We are sorry if users of Linux or other operating systems are disappointed by our decision to issue a firmware upgrade which when installed disables this operating system feature. We have made the decision to protect the integrity of the console and whilst mindful of the impact on Linux or other operating system users we nevertheless felt it would be in the best interests of the majority of users to pursue this course of action.
As you will be aware we have upgraded and enhanced functionality and features of the console by numerous firmware upgrades over time and this is a very rare instance where a feature will be disabled. Further enhancements are in the pipeline.
Users do have the choice whether to install the firmware upgrade and this is clearly explained to them at the time the firmware upgrade is made available for installation. Furthermore our terms and conditions clearly state that we have the right to revise the PS3s settings and features in order to prevent access to unauthorised or pirated content.
