The PS3 stayed un-hacked for 4 years. That is a damn well done job by Sony.

Care to explain?

Jtags stayed longer on Xbox360 if I am not mistaken.

And what has the removal of OS got to do with this? Sony removed it to help stop the hackers on PSN and PS3. Which they did until recently.

WuT?

1. Devs do a good game.
2. They tell sony they want it to be on ps3.
3. Sony sells rights.
4. do some online check here and there.

That is how sony gets their money

It does not have to do with games. Even the games sold at stores do not profit the devs. because they sold it to the store [ Gamespot, gamefly...... ]

You can copy game with the help of other OS. That is why sony got rid of it.

Sony's spin goes something like this: By removing the feature, the company says it "will help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system."

Translation: You get something you already have ("access to [a] broad range of gaming" etc.) in trade for nothing, while Sony gets to close what it now deems a hacker loophole. What's good for Sony is good for you, in other words.

Except when it's not (good for you, that is). Running Linux on the PS3 allows amateur developers to tinker with the PS3's Cell processor, Sony sanctioned, and cobble together home-baked utilities and games. It's also been used by researchers to build "discount supercomputers" to run scientific simulations that might otherwise "cost thousands of dollars." North Carolina State University professor Frank Mueller called it "$50,000 worth of computer power for a mere $5000."

Wait, where are we talking about the OS?

Anyway, I guess you proved me wrong but, I still have my doubts.
