I don’t care for the default interface on the PS3, the 360’s is much better in my opinion. I am not familiar with Linux at all. I know what it is but have never used it. I am curious to know what advantages or even disadvantages come with installing one of these OS’s on my PS3 (60GB)? Does it effect the functionality of the system? Do I lose any features? Is internet browsing better? How much memory does it eat? etc. etc. Please explain in detail. Thank You.

What is the advantage of installing a Linux OS on a PS3?

Sony is facing accusations and charges of earning profits at the expense of the customer. It recently announced the new decision to disable Linux on the PlayStation 3. A lawsuit has been filed against the company for not supporting the operating system.

Sony blamed the security reasons for such a change in its support of the operating system on its game console. The company had repeatedly stressed in its promotion that the playstation runs the full feature of Linux which changes the utility of the game console into a home computer.

After all the promotion, it became a necessity as well as the favorite of the people. The suit has been filed in San Francisco’s federal court and requires a class action status. The filing says, “Sony has been unjustly enriched at the expense of plaintiff and the class (.pdf) and is required, in equity and good conscience, to compensate plaintiff and the class for harm suffered as a result of its actions”.

The suit has been filed by a man belonging to California, who purchased PS3 in the year 2007 by giving $500. He confirms that his decision to pay such an amount was driven due to the Linux feature, which was advertised to be supported by playstation.
