It's being widely reported today that SCE are set to completely remove OtherOS from the PS3. This comes on the back of the current 'slim' model not featuring the option to install another OS in the first place.
Over the years Sony have been quietly removing features from the PS3, and are apparently about to remove another. As the owner of a 'fat' PS3 with an XFCE partition I'm disappointed to say the least. Although the PS3 runs Linux very slowly, it's always fun to see things like VLC and Transmission working on a games console.
The decision apparently stems from a recent hack, forcing SCE's hand into welding the door shut before all kinds of grog-swilling piracy jumps off.
Having said all that, the update is apparently due for release on April 1st...
