Not surprised, sony always jacks the price of shit to the sky, they charge like 5x what it costs to make their product…and they wonder why noone wants their shit as much anymore and then why the economy is so bad…if companys wernt greety the economy would probably be fine… ---

Slow economy strong yen…watch how the exchange rate change because Japan is an export economy. There own finance minister want’s the rates to change. There is no real must have technology anywhere on the horizon. Besides SONY actually stands for **S** tandard **O** il of **N** ew **Y** ork FYI. KK
