I know this is a bit off topic, but I hope everyone remembers how Sony BMG has acted in the past few weeks (read: rootkit fiasco) when they look at Sony products on store shelves. Without offense to the original poster, I won't be buying any Sony products, even well-made ones, for a long time.

a scary thought really.

Maybe I cannot avoid it all...but if I can avoid any product bearing the Sony name, perhaps it will be enough. And yes, I know Sony BMG is only one division of Sony; however, if Sony sales suffer because of Sony BMG's mistake, perhaps changes will be made to the way Sony BMG does business in the future.dolphinius_rex wrote:Better not buy any CD-Rs then, as Sony owns some patents on them. Also don't watch any HD Ready TV or Movies, since it's filmed on a Sony proprietary format... In fact, don't watch most TV or movies, since the non-HD stuff is usually shot on Sony product, or Sony format tape stock anyways.
And why boycott Sony DVDRs? The departments are unrelated, and it's only taking sales away from Daxon (and BenQ!!), or possibly Taiyo Yuden (depending on the OEM).
