what message? This was a real product released by Sony.
Right on.

Did it come with a free rootkit preinstalled?
Yeah. They cancelled it after they realized that people were buying consoles to build computing structures which went against Sony’s “sell the console at a loss and make it up in game sales” strategy.
Edit: on wait, that was PS3.
Yep. I have the original HDD (somewhere) and the ethernet adapter. For anyone interested, it's two DVD's.
Whaaaat ? whyyyy? 😅
So you could use your console for computing tasks.
It was possible on the PS3, too, until Sony removed it.
