It might be an April Fool's joke... maybe. It better be.

I was wondering about that too, but Sony has precedent for doing such nonsense (they did something similar on the PSP a year or so ago with Firmware 5.50), and this entire console generation has been a big FU to consumers no matter which company you buy into (the 360 Memory Unit fiasco, for example).

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

Companies that are overly clingy to proprietary hardware and software are really beginning to get up my nose. I remember back when Sony started selling the Vaio desktops and lappies, how difficult is was to even do basic upgrades and work. An extra bracket here, a locking mechanism there, only certain hardware (usually the expensive stuff) was able to work with their comps, and the list goes on and on. I really think PC and gaming companies should take a lesson from enthusiasts and make their stuff more compatible. Hell, dare I go as far to say that even make the console hardware easy enough for PC enthusiasts and techs to work on? *gasp*

Óttast er að tala í ráðgjöf höfuð mitt En innri rödd mín segir að ég er að falla, ég falla Gætirðu vera kodda sem leysa þetta vandamál Stundum vil ég að loka augunum og treysta þér En innri rödd mín segir að ég er falla, ég falla Gætirðu verið rokk að leysa þetta vandamál
