If you update to 3.1 it removes that capability. There is an uproar because people are saying, and in a valid way, that they paid for a feature and now it is being removed. They should either get a partial rebate, or have the feature re-enabled.

If you don't update it will block you out of things.
Yeah that lawsuit came out of a guy in the UK who actually got a refund from Sony because of the reduced functionality.

In the UK a manufacturer is legally required to maintain all features that the item originally sold with.

Sony were betting that linux implementation would give them a path to a slew of budget constrained indie developers. Never paned out.
