Or, you just go over to AVS and read the thousands of posts in the '05 SXRD TV threads. Or do a search for "Green Blob".

Why bother. I can just ask my coworker who refuses to buy any Sony electronics product - Jazz Inmate 19:55:04 01/29/08 (7)
because Sony Music used copy protection software on its CDs (so did other studios). This has nothing to do with the company's electronics arm, but that never stopped anyone from having irrational hatred of a manufacturer. Or a format, for that matter. You doods over at AVS sure hate Blu-ray.

  Just because it is your thing, why do you think every post has to do with the HD-DVD/Blu-ray format war?
  
  I have made up my mind that I will be eventually getting a Blu-ray player. But, like the original poster, I will NOT be purchasing a Sony machine. I too have been burned too many times by Sony to buy anything from them until they've cleaned their act up.
  
  I am waiting on Denon, or some other serious manufacturer, delivering a machine that promises good Blu-ray performance without sacrificing superior performance for standard definition DVD playback.

      The '05 SXRDs were seriously defective, and for a while, Sony denied it. They replaced defective parts with more defective parts, and alot of people were seriously hosed. Many had to pay for outside repairs, and others had to buy replacement sets. Not the best of customer support. They eventually lost a class action law suite, and had to extend their warranty of the optical block for an additional year or so, as well reimburse people who hads to get outside repairs or buy a new set.

        The only reason this thread exists is to discourage people from buying Sony BD players. You guys have a transparent deep-seated hatred of Sony. That's not to minimize the legit complaints of people who have had bad experiences, but bad experiences are to be had with nearly all manufacturers at one time or another. Since the original thread points you to a nightmare on a Sony SACD player received from Sony Customer service, I'll link you to some anecdotes of flawless Sony service on SACD players, with excellent outcomes.

        How generous of you. Can I post the link for the Xbox 360 class action lawsuit?
