The recent release of the PS3 Slim brought about joy for those who were waiting for a less expensive/smaller gaming system and indignation for those who were waiting for a Linux experimental machine of the same type as there was no "OtherOS" or Linux option on this model. Why? we cry sadly. Because, the deep, omniscient voices of two Sony representatives boom back.

gamecube exploit found by those trying to run linux found and later used to run pirated games
wii exploit found by those trying to run linux found and later used to run pirated games
xbox 360 exploit found by those trying to run linux found and later used to run pirated games
and some others the ps3 already supported linux so there was no hobby hacker searching deep enough to find a weakness.
so even if the ps3 linux support where half assed it was good enough to loss intress of linux hardware hackers. And those people making modchips are often not good enough to find the exploit, they only use exploits that other people have found before them
