Doesn't Tivo block what you can and cannot record now? I don't own any type of DVR but I'm pretty sure it's convenient and that's why it's up there.
I'm pretty sure that this thing was more of a popluarity contest. I have used BOSE headphones before, and they are pretty nice, but there are some headphones out there that are cheaper and work just as well. I guess those infomercials must be working!
Yeah, I know that, but it's just that it's consistantly their things that are braking. I have known many people who have also had a broken PS2 or something else that was faulty.
Also, I do know about the "stealing" thing and while you list those other examples Enigma, those were taken to court too, and while I do think its unfair that the father of video games is really unknown to most people, yeah, people need to get over it. Sony lost the lawsuit, hitting them harder in the trust department. The root kits don't help their image either.
THIS IS NOT A FANBOY RANT! I'm just tired of Sony getting credit for the bad things they have. I know most products do have something faulty with it, but it just seems that every Sony thing I have bought, not you guys, ended up being a piece of junk, while my other things have continued to work fine. I have an offbrand CD player that someone gave me and has taken falls and it survived longer than my CD player I had bought that was a Sony.
The only thing I do hope is for Sony to fix their problems before hand.
The PSP was faulty when it first launched. Kutaragi believed that the square button was the way it was, and they weren't going to change it because it was a piece of art or something rediuclous like that. They even knew it was faulty, so why didn't they fix it? They only fixed it after people started complaining about it. It's things like that that make me don't like their business ethics and make me not trust in them.
I just hope with the money I put into the PS3, that it will be a fine piece of machine and work the way it's supposed to... without "Disc Read Error"s popping up every time I turn it on.
I'm saying it because I experienced it first hand. I treat all my consoles the same way, but the PS2 dies on me. Why is that? That is the only system that died on me even though I treated it the way I do all my other systems. My freaking SNES still works, but the PS2 can't work for me?
Still doesn't defeat that fact that Sony installed things onto your computers... Thats bad business practice. They also stole the rumble technology, not very good Sony!
Philips is better, and their stuff doesn't break down on me. My family has this 50" big screen TV that was givin to us, the thing is like 15 years old and still works fine, but our old Sony Tv broke... Why is that? Sony doesn't make quality products. This isn't a fanboy rant, it's someone being disappointed in how blind the mass is.
Hahahaha, Sony as first? Do people not remember the Rootkit stuff? Do people not remember how faulty the PS2 was? Do people still care about brand names that much?
My Sony mp3/cd player is crap, the thing scratches my CDs.
This is really bad. Philips is a way better electronic company compared to Sony, this thing is joke.
