Gamasutra reports that the class action lawsuit brought against Sony last year over the removal of the "Other OS" feature in PlayStation 3 systems has been dismissed on all counts by a federal judge. The Other OS feature was designed to allow users to install versions of the Linux operating system onto the console for the purpose of using homebrew applications, gaining access to more customization options and other legal uses. Sony removed the feature in April of 2010 as part of a major firmware upgrade in an attempt to counter exploits that were being used to "jailbreak" the system, allowing users to run unauthorized and pirated software. Anthony Ventura, a California resident, filed the class action lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment America a few weeks later, claiming an "intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available" on SCEA's part.
