It is official, although I am probably not picking one up any time soon.

Figures... and not surprising.

I take it backward compatibility is completely gone now?

The ability to officially install Linux was also removed.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA

I raise my mug to this decision. Good luck on removing all the older versions of the PS3 from store shelves, Sony you kooky guys. I hope this works better than those PSOne slim models that scratched up so many game CDs. I'll just be over here watching how this plays out and still not buying a PS3.
