"We built this consumer focused device and included a function that allows them to run Linux. Supporting it doesn't add to our revenue, but maybe someone will like it! "

The US Government buys 1,700 Playstations and builds a supercomputer for 5-10% of the cost of an equivalent system

"Wtf wait why are we supporting linux we're losing so much money"

Annddd this is partly why we can't have nice things. Geohot hacking through the hypervisor is the other part.

Technically the US government is still a consumer, so the fault still remains with Sony. If they wanted to prevent this then they shouldn't have made their product a loss-leader. Being thrifty isn't a bad thing...

Heard loud and clear, the next console will cost $1,350 and won't include a controller, but you'll be able to load linux on it. Now everyone's happy!

That's cheaper than my current gaming PC was and I bought it before the RAMpocalipse, so...sold!

Much better to buy the cheaper storage option and swap it yourself. Like +300 for an extra 1.5tb is yikes.
