Ah,
that argument. I dunno why everyone is so uptight about DRM but I have never had any problem with anything even remotely related to DRM. It has been blown up out of proportion and over hyped. DRM is not as serious a problem as it is made out to be and Sony is no worse than other corporations.
WOW! That is a good point. I wonder how they are so successful and almost in every electronics field then. Every company turns out lemons once in a while. Maybe a DVD writer you bought from Sony was not working. It does not mean the company makes crap products.
And this is supposed to be different from the previous point...
Basically, you are against Sony without any apparent reason and are forcing your opinion upon others (sort of like I used to do in the not too distant past). That won't get you anywhere. PS3 is a very good console. Yes, it is overpriced. When people stop buying it, the prices will gradually come down. But it is meant for entertainment and it does that well.
And don't you brush away high definition buddy. You haven't experienced it. My friend bought a DVD the other day and was going on and on about the quality. I told him to shut his gob and declared that the quality was pathetic. He showed me the DVD and of course, it looked awful even on my tiny 17 inch screen. Then I showed him some 720p content. I was planning on bringing out the 1080p too, but suffice it to say, I never got there. And he won't ever bring a DVD for watching with me again.
Once you see high definition, man - you will forget everything else. I deleted my collection of hundred movies in CD quality after I got addicted to high definition. They used to be precious to me but well, HD tends to change your mind rather quick.
