Once you update your PS3 with the upcoming 3.21 system software update, you’ll no longer be able to install an ‘other operating system’. While this won’t be a huge shock to most people, anyone who has an older bulky PS3 has this unusual option. Not for long, though, as the update removes the functionality due to security concerns.
“The next system software update for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system will be released on April 1, 2010 (JST), and will disable the ‘Install Other OS’ feature that was available on the PS3 systems prior to the current slimmer models, launched in September 2009. This feature enabled users to install an operating system, but due to security concerns, Sony Computer Entertainment will remove the functionality through the 3.21 system software update,” said Sony’s Patrick Seybold on the PlayStation Blog.
