No, no need to boycott Sony. It's simple, fire the judge. Technologically stupid/ignorant people should not be presiding over technology cases.

It lends to beyond moronic results, like this one.

Aye, you speak the words of a wise old man...

They need a 20 year old judge with advanced tech knowledge to handle cases like these...

Don't know if that was sarcastic. But anyways, you don't need 20 year olds. Any judge who is not technologically impaired does fine. These judges should be quizzed on technology before they cast decisions.

I don't know about a boycott, but I haven't bought any Sony products in like 15 years because the quality is crap.

It's not a boycott, I just don't like their stuff.

You're reading my experience, bro.

You can hardly expect me to keep buying stuff that's crap. I'm not sure what's not to understand about that... :confused:

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
I've had a fair few of my Sony products go bad from the 90's. But the last 10 years? Faultless. I've not a single problem with any of their TV's, consoles or laptops.

My PS1 and Minidisc needed fixing back in '97 though. Replaced that with an MZ-R90 in 2001 and it has outlasted some of my iPods!

Sony have fallen quite a bit since their Trinitron glory days.
Sony used to mean quality.
These days, not so much.

My 360 ,for example, has never missed a beat.
My PS3 on the other hand is a constantly overheating, flakey bag of crap.

It`s actually the first Sony product I`ve bought for above 5 or 6 years.
It`s also the last...

As usual YMMV.

My PS3 has "never missed a beat" but I'm on my fourth Xbox 360 - the previous 3 having broken down.

I bet I can go as far as to say that everyone on this forum has owned a
Sony product in their life, I personally have this strong affinity for them and that will not cease to continue. At least their quality control isn't as bad
As *cough*, Apples and oranges anyone? :p

What struck me me most was the bow, you're not ever gonna see $teve doing that, too much pride he'll instead confess that we are all holding it wrong. :eek: :D

Though, that's the only game I've ever enjoyed on a Playstation 3.

Does anybody have a link to direct ruling? I would hate to think we are going off a tech sites commentary.

No need to boycott Sony as a whole. Just don't support the ps3 if you feel this strongly about it.

not technically a boycott, however, I did eBay my PS3 and PSP a little over a month ago.

After hearing this news, I'm not feeling buying any more Sony products again.

They should have went after that Geohot dude right out the gate as soon as they discovered the jailbreak......

The only Sony product I have is a 1998 Vaio. Yet to let me down has the little badboy.

I've boycotted Sony products ever since the Sony-BMG rootkit scandal. If that hadn't done it, their hypocritical shutdown of Lik-Sang probably would have.

Ditto, just bought my 4th 360 (well, the first 2 were replaced for free, to MS's credit). Failed DVD drive, RRoD, and then constant freezing. My PS3 has been flawless by comparison. How anyone could use the 360 v PS3 comparison to beat Sony with is beyond me.
