I whole heartedly agree with you. I don't see how anyone on this thread could disagree, yld is why were here. If they get away with this, I fear as others do, that this will allow a wave of abuse by companies downgrading your product after they have advertised it as something else. All in the name of Intellectual Property and unconscionable EUA's. I'm seriously expecting to see a "power of attorney" clause in one of these someday.<br>

Normally I wish people well... but I hope Sony has to pay for their<br>
bait & switch. The PS3 has been fantastic for games and movies, but<br>
its main appeal (for geeks like me) was as a Cell programming<br>
workstation. My army of PowerMacs is no longer supported, but at least<br>
Apple didn't remotely disable them! Or turn them into iTunes Music<br>
Store kiosks. That's essentially what Sony has done.<br>
