Even though it's from BBC...funny how it goes. Sony slaps its customers in the face for trying to use the console (say installing a custom OS on it, even though it's perfectly fine on all other computers and even cellphones), and now LG slaps it in the face for having (had) a blu-ray drive in the machine for a few years now, it being the format the games are distributed on and whatnot. Next somebody's probably going to double-slap them both for using plastic in their products in the first place

I agree that it is strange that they only decided to claim this now. Maybe they were just waiting for $ony to get some bad publicity.
