That led to security concerns within Sony who decided to remove the OtherOS functionality found it older PS3 models. The removal of this feature in Firmware 3.21 caused a nerd backlash, of people who decided they still wanted to install gimped versions of Linux on their video games system. Hacker GeoHot, who started the whole thing, claimed he'd get it back. And what you see in the embedded video is exactly that. A custom firmware providing full PS3 functionality and the fabled OtherOS feature.

Go get all nerdy on GeoHot's blog if that's your thing. We think this whole scenario is particularly pathetic to be honest. But whatever. Haxx0rz!
