    Dear Sony,
    Perhaps you would have 'started to turn around' before now if you weren't an overcontrolling, overbearing, lying, rootkit-installing, hardware-bricking, overpriced gang of fools. You were once a bastion of cutting-edge, reasonably priced electronics. Now, after countless failed proprietary format introductions, you finally 'get one', as much by poisoning your competitors as on actual merit, and you're surprised that people aren't falling all over themselves rebuying media and players that could be remotely bricked at any time, for incremental increases in picture quality paid for in a steep premium? Sorry, Sony, but while I'm finally pulling the trigger on HDTV and HTPC purchases this year, there will be no Sony components, and no Blu-Ray. There's nothing in your product catalog that can't be had elsewhere for a lower cost.
    Signed,
    A Former Sony Purchaser Now Purchasing Elsewhere. #sony

    Dont give up Sony, you just need to rethink your advertising campaign. I would suggest advertising the PS3 more like a complete media center rather than a console. #sony

    @Michai: That would be a better pitch to me. I already have consoles for games, but a sweet BD player with some options and a bit of future-proofing could be nice. #sony

    @Michai: It seems to me that people are buying the console only for the BD drive. I know I only got it for that and MGS4. There's no compelling reason otherwise and if all your friends are playing MW2 on the Xbox you're going to buy an xbox. #sony

    @yantelope: The, one of many, problem with xbox is that within the next year or two games will become far too large to fit on the xBox dvd's. In fact some games on xBox already have found content missing due to its inability to hold all the data. So basically on future xBox games you will see multiple dvd games or games with content missing squeezed onto one Dvd. #sony

    @Michai: That's what multi-disc content is for.

    Executables aren't usually more than a few MBs. They can put the EXEs on both discs.

    I don't mind changing discs every 30 odd hours of gameplay. Or in the case of Fallout 3 every few hundred hours. #sony

    To be fair, Sony's competition has been really, really good. Can you imagine if Bill Gates suddenly decided that he wanted to crush you (XBox)?

    The biggest challenges always create the most opportunities. If he has the vision, and can influence his people to reach past their limits, he might actually pull it off.

    In reply to Sir Howard Stringer Named Supreme Leader of All Things Sony
    Sony is run like a loosely-connected federation of fiefdoms, each one tapping out their own products in their own corner of the company. The only thing that holds them all together is Sony's annual meeting when Sir Howard Stringer puts on a set of tights, takes out his lute, and sings 17th century songs while company employees joust on horseback, and feast on roasted boar, pottage, and mead.

    Man, that last picture of Stringer with the Sony Ericsson phone behind him is awful. It looks like he squeezing out a big steamer in his shorts.


    It also looks like those pants are hiked all the way up to his chest.


    'Go Green' indeed. Looks more like going brown...


    Wow, I know I'm having a bad day when I'm ripping on some poor old timer.

    Yeah...3D will be the 3rd big change in cinema. -_- I would normally say HD was the 3rd, but I'm just thinking its an improvement of something instead of an introduction of something that revolutionizes cinema.

    Did they play the opening to "Bosom Buddies" when Tom and Howard first appeared? Man, that'd been awesome.
