Submission + - First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created (thinq.co.uk)
Stoobalou writes: Hot on the heels of the discovery of the the PlayStation 3 private root key, and its subsequent leakage by iPhone hacker Geohot, the first custom firmware for the formerly inpenetrable console has been released.
A code wrangler known only as Kakaroto reckons he has created the world's first custom firmware for the popular console — although if you're expecting it to help you play pirated games, you might be a little disappointed.

Seriously..28...kind of "old"?

Comment Other OS wasn't available on Launch PS3s (Score 1) 546
I may be mis-remembering, but at PS3 Launch OtherOS support was not in the Firmware yet (1.3 or 1.5 something), OtherOS came to the firmware later...1.6 something?
So they could say they added a feature then took it away until the date they started shipping the systems supporting OtherOS out of the box.
Or maybe it was support for OtherOS Linux other than Yellowdog that was added later. I forget.
I use Other OS, haven't updated yet and the DNS hack seems to not work anymore to get on PSN.

Submission + - Sony Sued Over Other OS Removal (thinq.co.uk) 1
Stoobalou writes: A Californian Playstation 3 user has filed the first class action lawsuit against Sony over removal of the 'Install Other OS' function from the Playstation 3.
The action seeks to redress Sony's "intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available with the Sony Playstation 3 video game console."
The suit claims that the disablement breaches the sales contract between Sony and its customers and constitutes "an unfair and deceptive business practice perpetrated on millions of unsuspecting customers".

So, does that mean that everyone who paid for a Unix license from SCO can sue SCO to get a refund? Or is Microsoft too embarrassed to admit what they have done?

Dragon Age:
I got boned by that "Keep" DLC with the storage box. I made it to the top of the Keep, killed everything, on the way out I notice that Picture you click to make a chest pop out of the wall..I'm overloaded so, Hey I'll just bop down to the storage box, unload and come back.
NOPE! Since I "Beat" the Keep , the doors now no longer open, Chest lost forever. I was so pissed.
They could have just dumped that damn storage box at camp since the door to the keep was closed forever after you beat it. I paid for that damn Keep and now I can't enter it? What Bullshit.
