It's Sony, so they'll advertise Linux support, then pull it with a firmware update in 3-4 years.

Is this supposed to refer to something specific?

The PlayStation 3 had support to install other OS's, namely Linux. But it was removed after About 4 years with a system update.

Was that even advertised? I thought that was to claim a tax break or something

It was advertised and they lost a class action. I ended up with like $150 soccer I could prove my usage.
