In any event ... Sony has been doing a really good job of pissing people off lately. DRM on music CDs. Blu-ray calling big brother to tell him everything you do with your media. PS3 delays and pain-in-the-arse development. Not sharing SXRD, and many other, techologies.
They are really becoming a problem.

You forgot the big CCD recall that affected not only their still & video cams but those of the other companies they sold them to

Yes. The CCD Problem. Have sent mine in for repair. Hopefully it will return some time this coming week.

SunComm's software is hardly news. We've known for several years to hold down SHIFT while putting in audio CD's from Sony.

Combined with Sony's financial losses, layoffs, the CD issues and the associated PR problems due to same this isn't exactly good news for 'em, especially since they'll be picking up the tab for repairs to cameras made by others and equipped with bad Sony CCD's.

I'm one model short of a replacement. I have a DCR-TRV19, the 19E is a recall model, mine isn't. Oh well.
If the PS3 bombs, Sony will be in big trouble.

Yeah? You think that there's a chance Sony is gonna implode?
What's going on with DRM for Sony in Japan/Asia? A friend in HK tells me that they don't even know what the concept of copyright is over there. What are the media companies doing to combat media piracy in that part of the world?P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment

oh we know what copyright is in Japan sadly enough, HK on the other hand has copyright laws, just they have err enforcement issues, thats it issues
Sony has lost brand recognition here, there slowly winning it back with small conusmer items, like mp3 players et al.
if the ps3 bombs though it will not be a good thing for them.Juu nin to iro

PS3 will do good things in Japan. thats pretty much guaranteed.
State side it might pose some problems though. will people buy them? of course. but how well will it sell a year down the road?"And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

MS is taking a more worldwide approach in its branding strategy for the 360. They're really pushing for Japanese developers to embrace the 360.
One thing that will be intersting to watch is how developers handle porting their games to multiple platforms. With the new multicore CPUs and the different strengths/weaknesses held by each it's going to be very difficult to optimize a game to use each platform to its fullest.
One thing I find interesting is that M$ used to say (when the XBOX was still in development) that they didn't predict beating Sony until round three. Now it's round two and M$ seems to think it has a shot of toppling Sony. It's going to be an interesting fight.
One last thought. M$ has a long history of allowing products who've gained market dominance to fester. If they are able to squeeze Sony and Nintendo out of the industry, it could spell doom for gaming in the long run.

Sorry I deleted it. I wanted to rephrase it and add some comment to the sony drm crap but bit busy atm.
In short: It seems that the PS2/3 is more popular in Europe and Japan and the xbox in the US (probably because of the live experience and better marketing). I only know one person overhere with an xbox (but he also has a PS2), and several people with a PS2.Main: Dual Xeon LV2.4Ghz@3.1Ghz | 3X21" | NVidia 6800 | 2Gb DDR | SCSI
Second: Dual PIII 1GHz | 21" Monitor | G200MMS + Quadro 2 Pro | 512MB ECC SDRAM | SCSI
Third: Apple G4 450Mhz | 21" Monitor | Radeon 8500 | 1,5Gb SDRAM | SCSIComment
