Not the issue. The issue is Sony should not be removing features from my PS3 that I already *bought*. I don't care what feature it is.

I'll be bypassing this firmware any way I can. And any that come after it unless they restore this feature.

Sony's creating a bunch of outlaws out of previously 100% legit users.]]>Apr 9th 2010 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/bypass-ps3-firmware-3-21-in-seconds-at-your-own-risk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/bypass-ps3-firmware-3-21-in-seconds-at-your-own-risk/http://kotaku.com/5422179/playstation-3-cluster-or-skynet

for whatever the hell we want. That's why we purchased it. I could have waited a couple of months and purchased the slim but I purchased an older model instead. In hind sight I was very happy with my decision when I found out the slim wouldn't have the Other OS option.

Looks like I just got OWNED by Sony. But how can they repossess a technical feature they had already sold us. I can't really believe this is legal in any way.

@DWells55 Yeah, that's what my thinking is as well.

@YuriTenshi I see what you're saying. So basically, as long as this guy sets his DNS server to actually send us to the PSN servers (and not somewhere else where he can grab our information) and Sony encrypts the username, password, etc. then it should be secure? I mean, I know there isn't really such thing as 100% hacker-proof security when you're dealing with the internet and something like this, but as long as those criteria are met, it should be fairly secure, right?]]>Apr 9th 2010 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/bypass-ps3-firmware-3-21-in-seconds-at-your-own-risk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/bypass-ps3-firmware-3-21-in-seconds-at-your-own-risk/
Realistically, I'm not going to do that to thousands of people. And if you don't trust me, don't use it. I like to think I'm a reputable person though :)
There are plenty of places on the net that explain how to set up something similar at home if you like, including some posts in the source thread on RVLution.
