Sony PS3 Blog, v 3.21 update ( no freedom of speech here )

8 04 2010

Well Sony has removed the OtherOS support for their original PS3 fat systems – which is a feature that influenced many of us to purchase the console in the first place..  On their blog post that announced the update the comments have reached over 6500 negative posts but the entire time countless legitimate and well spoken posts were being moderated and deleted..  Customers trying to be heard, eventually were forced to use dots or spaces between letters and even 1337 speak just to avoid having their messages automatically blocked by Sony’s string filters..

I only posted a hand full of times on SONY’s website, but today I checked back after about a week and attempted to post.  No such luck.  I see why the messages on the topic have slowed – it’s like Tienamen Square, or being a lawyer in Communist China.  The words of us, paying customers have been snuffed out..  Sony has chosen to silence us, their customers.

The future Today when companies take from us what we purchased from them years after we purchased it, and can silence us as if it never happened is bleak indeed.

Also just want to post a reeninge’s signature from the Sony blog, which shows Sony blocking the word “FTC”.:
