It's a credit to professional and aggressive marketing teams that it takes a country completely displaced from the Western sensibility to force us to admit, Sony is complete crap.

Their marketers should all get a raise and a pat on the back, they had successfully duped millions of Westerners into "believing" in their product.

Dave,

Sony is complete crap.

Nothing in that statement that comes as a surprise to me.

Just to be clear,

Dad (Gstark) carries a black piece of crap in his pocket quite frequently.

Actually, while Sony being complete crap doesn't surprise me, here's another bit of info suggesting they're crap:

My brother and I each got a Nintendo DS yesterday and, while it's not a Sony, we each had to take our first one back and get a new one, which EB wasn't too big of a fan of for me taking mine back, because of dead pixels on brand new devices.

Upon taking my brother's DS back to get a new one, one of the guys had told us that the Sony PSP's (Playstation Portable) seemed to have a whole lot of people returning them for dead pixels upon turning them on.

It wasn't so much a small amount of people were getting them, it seemed.

I feel sorry for the poor bugger at Christmas or Chanukah who, upon opening their present on the 25th of this month, discover that their console has one or two or three or four bright and shiny new pixels.

And if you bought it from EB, you'll be given an evil look and some bullshit about Australia's rules needing 12 dead pixels for a replacement not one, contrary to what Nintendo suggest.

If one knows of just how non-exisitant QC appears to be in any product manufactured there, failing quality test in China takes on a whole new meaning.
