My mum and dad have a small sony portable b&w TV which still works great after what must be getting on for 2 decades.
Sadly though I think this is the same with all manufacturers who used to make things to last, but now only make them the to last 12 months and a day if you are lucky.
Basically people wanted things cheaper and that's what we have got these days.
Mind you having said that, who wants a portable PSP which is going to last 20 years when it is going to be superceded next year by something twice as fast anyway?
Price fixing...look at ipods, now there's price fixing if ever I saw it.
