Is there really no recourse? I would imagine there are law and case law to support PlayStation owners to prevent this.

The demise of PlayStation Linux Posted Apr 1, 2010 6:38 UTC (Thu) by nikanth (guest, #50093) [Link] FWIW, Earlier SCE had Linux kit for PS2 but later slim models didn't support it. But it didn't make loss by selling only PS2 consoles without games for HPC setups.Having Linux as an option made many people prefer PS3 over other consoles, and provided some initial momentum. Now PS3 does not need it, nor afraid of opposition?!

Certainly there would be some merit in using the UK's Sale of Goods Act to obtain refunds on affected consoles, as they'd no longer be "suitable for the purpose for which they were sold", especially if Sony advertised the Linux capability anywhere.
Seems the opposite is the case, at least in Canada: Posted Apr 9, 2010 5:25 UTC (Fri) by qu1j0t3 (guest, #25786) [Link] Modifying a video game console such as a PlayStation3 or Xbox 360 is a crime in Canada and could result in a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, according to a recent release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

This is not entirely true. Let's say that RCMP didn't say all.
