i agree. i do love Sony products but i'm much more inclined to buy something if i know i can use stuff i already have lying around the house with it. that's the reason i never bought many UMD movies (got 2 super cheap and that was it), why would i pay DVD prices for a movie i can ONLY watch on my PSP and that has less features. this was driven home even further by the point that i could easily rip a DVD and watch it on the same PSP, as well as a bunch of other devices.
my PS3 has Memory Stick, SD, and Compact Flash support (as well as support for many other non-propriety accessories), so maybe this is an indication that that is spreading to the rest of the the company. again, i'm much more inclined to buy something that i use with stuff i have lying around than something i have to buy all new accessories for.
