I'm really in a clinch now. Because I boycott Sony over the geohot incident[0].

It's the rootkit CDs that do it for me.


I remember that well. I was running Linux and didn't buy particularly mainstream music so I was alright, but all the pesky "CDs" that were released with copy protection on them so that they didn't play in ordinary CDs really wound me up. Deep Purple's Rapture Of The Deep was one of these; no idea if it was through Sony though haha. Sounded like it was recorded live in one room with microphone bleed all over the place, so no great loss eh!


I also boycott Sony.

Guess I'm not going to be getting any first-gen VR headset, unfortunately.
