PlayStation 3 Owner Gets A $100 Refund For Losing Linux European PS3 owner and NeoGAF forum moderator "iapetus" received more than $100 USD (£84.00) in credit from Amazon for his original purchase of the console. Why? He filed a complaint with the online retailer that the removal of functionality in the PlayStation 3's latest firmware update violated a 2002 European law, essentially that his console no longer performed as advertised. As reported by PlayStation University, that law specifies that goods must "be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase," a responsibility that falls to the seller to uphold, not the manufacturer. http://kotaku.com/5512880/playstation-3-owner-gets-a-100-refund-for-losing-linux LOL
