Foreign players are compensated for the Linux installation feature due to PS3 castrated installation

Article Title: Foreign players are compensated for the installation of Linux functions due to PS3 castrated. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Many problems have occurred since Sony removed the functionality of installing other operating systems (generally Yellow Dog Linux) on the old version of PS3 with the official 3.21 firmware of the PS3. First, the hacker Geohot said that he was studying the self-made system of the PS3 to enable the function of installing other systems under the 3.21 system. In addition, due to the upgrade of the official 3.21 firmware, many players also report crashes on their machines. Recently, a moderator of a well-known foreign game forum complained to the sales website Amazon because the 60G PS3 of its old version was caressed.

According to European laws, the product must be in line with the function described in the advertisement within two years, while in the UK where the player is located, the time limit is 6 years. Because Sony unilaterally removed the Linux installation feature of the PS3, but did not reach the previously advertised feature, Amazon, as the seller, would compensate the player for $129 (about $880 ). Eventually, Sony will pay the compensation.

Although this rule is currently only available in Europe, this player is also the first player to be compensated for the removal of Linux installation by the PS3, but it is certainly not the last one.
