CAVEAT EMPTOR: PS3 SLIM REMOVES LINUX INSTALLATION OPTION
One side note to this morning’s PS3 Slim announcement: buried within Sony’s press release is this “new feature” addendum:
Removal of “Install Other OS” feature
The new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content, and users will not be able to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system.
Translation: no more installing Linux on your PS3. I can’t honestly say I’d seen the feature gain much traction over the past few years, but for those that were holding out for a price drop specifically for it, your best bet is grabbing one of the remaining standard 80GB models at their newly dropped price.
