Wow some guys in here are portraying Sony as if they are gods. Believe me after owning several Sony Products and I still buy them I just have to tell you that they suck at being the good guys - in some things
The xperia phones suck at giving the consumers good vaue after their purshase, updates takes forever!
My Vaio PCs Always seem to bring me headache because of small problems every where
- My Sony receiver is a excellent beast!
My Bravia TV is a massive clusterfuck even though it is pretty new Christmas 2012
THne I have my Vita which I seriously love but it is in the same boat as the Xperia phones after release they get forgotten

Who's to say the Playstation won't take a bite out of the other's divisions book of evil and terrible??

Don't get me wrong here I love and hate my Sony Products but portraying them as if they were gods is just so wrong on so many levels


Yes, Sony has a lot of downsides but still some products are very good. What I don't like is that they blocked a lot of "features" in the past others implemented.

I remember a friend who bought a dvd-player from Sony. He paid twice the price than the cheap dvd-players because "it's a Sony!" Well, it played DVDs and CD-A. End of the story. My dvd-player played vcd, svcd, could read photo-cds, showed jpegs and even divx. And of course the picture wasn't any worse.

Or their bluray-players: When I bought mine, Sony didn't support NTFS or MKV. Ok, in one way I can understand to not do this but others can do it (e.g. Samsung) so why don't they? I think they are relying too much on their brand than in anything else.

These are only examples, of course, and still Sony has good products but it is not great in every way. Especially the support-quality is varying and generally considered to be not as strong as it is supposed to be given the price.

The problem is that Sony is always portrayed as the premium guys kinda like Apple is. I mean why does a Vaio Ultrabook cost more than a Zenbook which has superior everything? And the answer is like you said it's Sony!

When I bought the receiver back in the past holidays I came home and my mom - yes my mom a typical mom that knows nothing about tech - told me is that a Sony product???  Thing is back in the 90s Sony = PREMIUMMMMM

Today I can assure everyone that Premium became mainstream which in that case means just normal shit like everyone else!
