Because they were selling at a loss, it is logical that Sony would remove the feature, they were essentially subsidizing these researches. However, since these PS3's won't get Sony any more money as no games are going to be bought for them, I would like Sony to sell Linux enabled slims with profit, to both keep the scientific spirit going and let Sony earn some money along the process.

Piracy is eventually going to happen, whether they use linux or not. I really think there could be some sort of class action about this if they in fact do remove the feature and force us to upgrade to play current games. As long as I can play GOW3 and FF without any new firmware updates, I won't have to worry about it for a loooong time, no upates for me! I've been working on getting the zerogame thing running on my machine, can't wait! I doubt this is true. Piracy is eventually going to happen, whether they use linux or not.

I'm not that hurt by it sine I'd rather be playing games on my PS3. I if want to play with linux I can get a machine that cheaper than the original PS3 to play around on.

Thats like Sony coming to my house and stealing my backwards compatibility, card readers, and 2 of my USB ports haha I doubt they’d go and take it away from the consoles that already have it.
