Here's a Sony DRM rant for you. Which gives you a idea of what they are all about. Kind of funny that its the Blue Ray protection software thats responsible for PS3 being late.
On another note, apparently 360's DVD drive firmware is a hackable debug version, and enabled a backdoor to running backup disks!!!.
Anyway, Sony's recent track record....

Sony... the guys who brought us very expensive DVD players that wouldn't read CD-R/DVD+-R media (on purpose of course). This one really upset me. I couldn't play my DVD's slideshows and movies that I made on my computer on my Sony player.
Sony, the guys who brought us the Sony Memory Stick and Magic Gate copy protection aka "Slow and Lame."
Sony, the guys who just released the "iPOD Killer" that can't even play MP3's and requires converting them to Sony's proprietary format (because it's better right?).
Sony, the guys who make TV's that enforce macrovision so strictly that they sometimes don't work with DVD players and legal DVDs. Can anyone say, RF adaptor? Should one really need to purchase an RF adaptor just to get the Sony DVD player and Sony TV to work together? Jeez....
First and second generation HDTVs which won't play at full resolution with new devices because of what they call the "ANALOG HOLE".
Sony the guys who make video cameras that shutoff if accidentally pointed towards a TV screen playing a DVD (say during your child's birthday party).
