Sony Releases PS3 3.61 Update Ahead of PSN's Imminent Return 233
Sonny Yatsen writes "Sony has released the PS3 3.61 firmware update as a part of the phased return of the Playstation Network and Qriocity. The new update now requires all PSN users to change their passwords in order to sign back into the PSN service." And several readers are pointing to reports that the network is slowly being spun up. Snips one anonymous submitter: "Sony Japan told customers today that it would begin phased restoration of its services of its beleaguered Playstation Network which has been suffering from an outage for nearly a month. The company would start bringing back its gaming network this Sunday, on a country-by-country basis, and expects it to be completed by May 31."

I would bet big that Nintendo's new system will not include optional Linux. No one will be touching that feature in a long time.
And yet, I have yet to hear / read (until your comment) that is was OtherOS which caused this.

Great. Keep giving your money to these assholes.
The ethical thing to do is to boycot them. Rootkits, pulling otheros, suing customers, this stuff won't stop so long as there are sociopaths like yourself giving them money.
