My god that is a ripoff. I love my PS3 and I think its an excellent value at $399, and I enjoy the technical superiority of Blu-ray. And I guess overall, Sony's consumer electronics are excellent quality. But GOD DAMN they are stupid as hell with their proprietary "standards" bullshit. Memory stick, UMD, SACD, Minidisc family, and all their other failed crap. Not to mention their rootkit fiasco and other DRM bullshit.
SONY, STICK WITH OPEN STANDARDS AND TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT!
