They were at one time my default choice for electronic stuff, but since getting an mp3 CD player from them and discovering it doesn't play loud enough, and the controls are very poorly designed, you have to take the thing out of your pocket to figure out what button to push. And then the whole DRM debacle, I just think something went wrong with Sony, now they suck, and they are basically doomed. At some stage it might be interesting to do a postmortem. It seems like this just happens to companies somehow. I guess if someone took control who knew how to do it, they might be able to make the company stop sucking, but it seems like once a company starts sucking they just suck worse and worse until they suck too bad to even keep making money...
