Please if nobrainer (no longer here) has made biased opinions, please provide documented counter examples (not opinions).
The problem with any large corp, is they have armies of bloggers to act as damage control that troll all the usual forums and anyone with any damaging information they will instantly jump all over trying to discredit, they will purposely post everything they can to make it look like you are talking rubbish and constantly stand up for anti-consumer behaviour, it's just one of those things. DRM has no defence for the average user, the only defence DRM has, is from the shareholders of the company making millions from the royalties from every disk their malware is put on.

Just as EA never put any information on the retail Boxes about the anti-consumer locks, neither have Sony put anything on their news page about the backlash: http://www.securom.com/news.asp

Ok give me the ability to back up my media without having to pay anyone for the privilege, remove the HDMI DRM (HDCP) so i can use what ever screen i want to and not be forced into purchasing new gear because you say i have to purchase a new Bravia, quit it with the phone home snooping, never implement online checks or media locks to single devices, reduce the price of the hardware and media to that of current DVD's and i will take you up on your offer sony, but NO one blu-ray from discovery will ever make me purchase anything.
Until these conditions are made i will not be fooled by this pathetic sales campaign. remove your malware and give us back our rights.
