Sony is in violation of bait and switch marketing

I bought a ps3 for 600 bucks which on the box said it supported installing other OS. By taking this away sony is in violation of bait and switch marketing. I dont care if you dont use it others do and sony has no right to take it away. Many ppl on the official ps forums and blog are raging and are threating legal action. I really hope sony gets brought to court. You slim owners dont understand what its like to pay double getting extra features just so sony can come along and take them away reducing your products functions to the cheaper versions. Im not the only one http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/03/28/ps3-firmware-v3-21-update/comment-page-24/#comments What other psn users have to say: Just FYI, the TOS does not give Sony free reign to gimp a console after it has been purchased. 1) No one agrees to them before actually making the console purchase, so the advertised feature set is what is understood to be the bargained-for consideration, despite what a EULA says after the fact. 2) EULAs are always highly suspect as, again, they are language which the seller generally tries to impose after the transaction has already been made, the seller has 100% of the bargaining power in determining what goes in to a EULA, and courts generally realize that no one really reads such boilerplate terms anyway.

Gotta love the human race...make the biggest deal out of the smallest things.Sony taking BC out of PS3 was bad enough to complain about as millions and millions of people have PS2 games they wanted to use. THAT was a bad move by SONY. Taking out a feature that maybe a thousand people use to protect us from piracy is actually a smart move. Does it hurt a handfull of people? SURE, but thats the nature of the business. Get over it .
