    Corporate Responsabilty

    Don't buy Sony - root kit, no I STILL haven't forgiven them. Disney - H1B shaft. So PlayStation is doing well, I don't play console scams.

      "Don't buy Sony - root kit, no I STILL haven't forgiven them."

      Who does that actually leave that we can buy stuff from? Because what Microsoft is doing with W10 and the whole industry is doing with DRM is the same thing on a much bigger scale.

      Sony made an extremely stupid mistake and got punished for it; I really think it's time to move on a bit.

      Rootkits???? Were you even born back then? It seems you need to grow up, and perhaps some fact checking. First4Internet. Would be a good company to start looking at.

      I assume you also don't use energiser batteries either for the same reasons

      Or did the internet not instruct you to avoid that company????

        First of all, too many question marks. I'm not saying you're an Internet Kook, but you type like one.

        Second of all, it doesn't matter that other corporations have shitty business practices. This isn't a story about whomever runs the Energizer brand, this is a story about Sony. Stick to the topic at hand and you'll further diminish the Internet Kook label to which you've brought comparisons.

        Third: yes, Sony is a terrible company. That's why I bought my (new-in-box!) PS Vita second-hand, and only updated the firmware to a place where I could make it do what I wanted, as opposed to what Sony wanted. It's a terrible PSP replacement, but now I can play every PSP game I've purchased (and everything I haven't, not that I've done much of that with it) along with all the Vita games I've purchased.
