So why aren't journalists reporting the last time Sony outright denied the price cuts it happened a week after. Why arn't journalists reporting that Sonys reputation is tarnished? Answer me that one buddy and I'll believe every word you say from now on... (It's because they don't care and already forgot about it... You have 2 threads.... and both are wrong... do you see a pattern here buddy?)

I am no Sony defender but I would really appreciate a link in which Sony is shown to be lying.

Sony made some major mistakes this generation. The made promises and broke them (backward compatibility anyone?) but this does not constitute lying - they thought they were true when they made them. Still even broken promises cause you lose of credibility and the journalists and publications were pretty harsh on them for a long time after the fact. We are all still mentioning the 4D CELL engine claims years before the release of the PS3. Again - not lying, but loss of credibility.

You can see how much loss of credibility hurt Sony already - and this was even without any outright lying. Just making future looking projections that did not not come true.

We have long memory for these lapses and companys avoid getting themselves into creditbility lapses like the plauge.
