Why I hate Sony and super hate that they won the HD war.

First they had the audacity to ask for money to remove crap from their systems that you did not ask for.

PC World - Business Center: Sony Removes Bloatware--for a Fee


Then they got a clue that maybe this was a bad PR move. Uhm, like putting a rootkit in the software DRM of your CDs. Or, like not licensing MD or Betamax technology to 3rd party people. Or uhm, how about the time they created their own memory called a Magicstick and no one else used it? Oh yeah, how about the time they rendered all early adopters' Blu-ray players incapable of playing the newer profile movies? Hasn't happened yet? You are right but it is on the way once the new profile is released. Only the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) has the ability to upgrade its profile. Still want a Sony product? Why don't you just hand me the money and bend over instead? I'll be more gentle than they will be.

Ciao.
