Sony: The Company That Kicked the Hornet's Nest

When Sony started their assault on GeoHot I sold everything in my house that had a Sony logo on it. Not only have they had the info of PSN players compromised, they are now a company with a reputation of going after hackers. The best way to deal with people modifying your hardware is to embrace it the way Microsoft has, or at least understand it will happen and focus on your product the way apple does. Instead, Sony's arrogance threatens to destroy it. The times are changing and if Sony can't accept that, maybe they should go back to rice cookers.

We've got a 52" Bravia, Sony 5.1 system, PS3 with 15 games or so and will absolutely _NEVER_ knowingly give Sony another penny.

As soon as the PSN is up and I'm able to delete the PSN account (which they're saying will only be possible from your original PS3) we're going to pawn the PS3 and games.

I don't want Microsoft to win the living room and so won't be supporting them either. I guess unless Wii2 has beautiful graphics we'll be an exclusive PC gaming house.

The whole situation is disgusting. I don't get to play much but it really pisses me off that Sony has essentially killed one of the only great activities that I've kept from child to adulthood.

Same here. I had planned to buy a Sony Android phone, and was also looking at their tablets. I'd rather give HTC my money.

What do you mean by this?

I think it's about the Kinect and how Microsfot isn't suing the guys who made PC-drivers.
