The PS3 used to have an unlocked bootloader with official Linux support. Sony removed it because of piracy. Of course, piracy is still possible, but as always, it’s only an excuse to exert more control over customers.
That’s pretty cool though, I’m glad they at least experimented with it. I wonder if they just chickened out at some point or if they actually found a steep increase in piracy?
