If not , Why not?
I haven't yet. I object to the idea of features being removed from something I already bought. And extra offensive is that some completely unrelated stuff is barred from un-updated consoles - e.g. the Singstar Singstore.
I've updated, never been interested in installing another operating system anyway, but agree that it's poor form to sell it with something then take it away.
not upgraded yet for similar reasons as stated above but tbh I'm not really playing on my ps3 much lately...
In all fairness I haven't turned mine on since it came out but I'm in no rush to either... too much work on my mind ;_;
Not really interested in the hacking scene of the PS3 although I think it's a cool movement. Linux out of the box on the PS3 was cool but it was so heavily gimped that it ran incredibly slow under an entirely locked off environment... how was that supposed to be ideal or fun to anyone with out any sort of hardware acceleration!?
I have, again it is poor form, but to be honest Linux would run better in a VM on my desktop than my PS3. Also I use PlayTV so I don't want to miss recording Homes Under The Hammer because I booted into Linux.
I've not updated yet.
Until it becomes a requirement I tend to leave updates as long as possible, too many risks being an early updater and I can play games fine at the moment.
Not bothered by the loss of install other OS, as it's not something I plan to do.
Installed on my phat - No issues as it's never had Linux on there.
Never put another OS on mine either, not updated yet but I will at some point. It is a bit ridiculous selling a product with certain abilities then slowly taking them all away. First PS2 compatability, now this, what's next?

Not releasing something with hardware features is one thing. You know what you are and aren't getting. Software is something else...
This all comes down to the exploit, take the functionality away and it hampers the hackers attempts to create exploits. I wasnt bothered by Linux when I had my phat 80Gb, so havnt missed it at all with my slim
Apparently he's re-broken it and has found a way to get it on the Slim as well.

Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Nope not done it on either of my two Phats. Ones an original 60GB (with 320GB upgrade) the other a 40GB (with 120GB Upgrade).
I just haven't got round to it, all games play and I can't be bothered with the online stuff too much now. Neither have had Linux on there as from what I saw it didn't run, well very quick and it wouldn't serve as a media centre replacement for my needs. Something about having a part of the PS3 which no one else does makes it unique in a way ...
I updated straight away - got a few games that connect to the internet in the background and so need the update, and although I installed Linux it was always a pain in the neck to use so I never bothered with it much.
Still fuming at Sony though.
