Ps3 software 2.17

Due to the removal of the " OtherOS " feature from older models of the PS3 due to security issues possibly related to the exploit released by geohot which caused an uproar in the PlayStation community, several lawsuits have been filed. The first one was filed on behalf of PS3 owners by Anthony Ventura.

Sony responded to the lawsuits by requesting a dismissal on the grounds that "no one cared about the feature" and that the filings cite quotes from 3rd party websites, the instruction manual, the PlayStation Web site and claims they are invalid proof and that Sony can disable PSN and the other advertised features playing games that require newer firmware, etc.

The lawyers for the plaintiffs are reviewing the request and say that this is fairly common at this stage of the game and that the case will be reviewed before a judge in November SCEA also made claims that they are not the division solely responsible for the removal and should not be held responsible despite conflicting information to the contrary.
