I have to agree with foxb. I started boycotting Sony products a few years ago because of their crappy business practices (rootkit, proprietary everything, etc.), but I'm sure they don't care because most people seem to think Sony is one of the best and don't know about the "behind the scenes" crap, so they continue to buy their products.
I had the PS1 and PS2, so I was a little worried that I might regret my boycott when the PS3 came out, but I couldn't be happier with the Xbox360. Boy, did I luck out there. Thanks, Sony, for not coming out with a console better than Microsoft's.
I've also stayed away from Blu-ray for a while, but I'll be comfortable now buying a player made by anyone other than Sony.
