I’ve always bought Sony products. I can now say that I’ve purchased my last one. And believe me, I’m one of those lowlifes that REALLY holds a grudge. Once you piss me off, you’re toast. I also like to spread the word to my friends. Sony will be losing some customers over this. It may not be a lot but every little bit hurts. IMHO.
I think they are busy right now with:
Sony suffers yet another setback in 2011..they were torched in London...and
PlayStation franchise was hit by a massive hack.
