		thebooktocome on Oct 27, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The PlayStation Phone PS2 Linux support was a massive joke -- they forced linux development to be perfectly orthogonal to the rest of the system, and I don't think anything that separates the PS2 from the typical desktop made it into open source (i.e., GPU drivers, and so on). PS3 Linux support was retroactively revoked via firmwear update mere months after launch.

"mere months"? I had my PS3 for over two years before Sony pulled the plug on OtherOS support, and I didn't even buy my PS3 at launch...

Indignance must have tempered memory.
