It was, and still is, cheaper to get a repair on your old unit than it was/is to replace it retail. That’s a poor argument to make.

SACD playback was never gimped and anyone with a SACD capable unit still has full use of that feature, including Multichannel support via HDMI.

The only real thing removed from people was Other OS support, and speaking as someone who actually used it, it was a shit feature. It was gimped and just a trick used to avoid certain tariffs by calling it a computer. NO ONE is missing anything important with other OS gone

And like I said, anyone looking for those top three features can still go out and buy a unit that has them. They still work and nothing was gimped. Only a useless tax trick was removed.

1. I still have PS2 BC
2. I still have SACD playback
3. I still have functional memory slots
4. Who cares about non-HD playback on an HD console?
5. Who cares about Other OS when it was gimped to begin with just to evade import tax?

If you want the top three functions just buy the model that has them. That’s what I did.

LMAO, yeah…. Because obviously the Sony Entertainment Network wasn’t built up in the last year to leverage all that content on the newly developing Sony ecosystem of hardware.

It’s not fake, they mapped a facebook like to the A button and then had a literal like button artisanally crafted and added to their keyboard. Kinda like the Chrombook search button replacing capslock!

Vowels are sooo mainstream.

No, they don’t. Maybe yours, but not everyones.

Same here, I’d rather Softbank grab Sprint than watch it bcome squandered away by a newcomer with no clear goals in mind.

WithSoftbank, we know we are going to get better service and Sprint will become more competitive, but with Dish it seems more likely that Sprint gets farmed out to do other work on behalf of Dish’s main business which may degrade quality of service.
