I was one. Mine is a ps3 fat, and running linux was my second goal after making it a media server. Then they removed 'other os' I bitched back then on slashdot too, refused to update my ps3 untill the day came that netflix wouldn't let me cheat my way past the 'you must update' window.
fuck sony.
Never, ever, again.
I did build a home pc as a media viewer, but had problems getting my damn 42" toshiba screen to display correctly. It has 'weird' requirements to display a 1080p signal.
after that, I bought a ps3, to be my media machine, play blue ray, and run linux. Obviously netflix wasn't around when I first got it, but it quickly became the 'killer app' for me.
I will never buy a device that I can't install my own os of choice, and I'll never buy another sony device as long as I live.
