Ever wonder why, Sony decided to dump the "install other OS" feature in PS3 Slim?
After all this time, users can install other OS such as Linux into PS3, but not anymore with the release of PS3 slim.
Here is the official statement from Sony:
"The PS3 Slim is a major cost reduction involving many changes to hardware components in the PS3 design. In order to offer the OtherOS install, SCE would need to continue to maintain the OtherOS hypervisor drivers for any significant hardware changes – this costs SCE."
Hmm.. maybe, maybe not. Nonetheless, your question has been answered.
