I am talking about warranty repairs. Sony has stated that any units it repairs under warranty will be upgraded, no option.

so the user has the choice of throwing away the device or having it upgraded to not be useful, even during the warranty period.

Well, that's just wrong.

I'm sure Sony has an out in its warranty that lets it just buy the machine back, and it should do the decent thing and at least exercise that for people who have broken Linux-bearing PS3s.
