I agree, this really isn't Sony's fault.
How is it not Sonys fault? They're the one who's hyped the system to the point where clueless people, prone to spontaneous acts of violence, think they need it. Then they sell them short, so Sony execs can sell them for insane prices on eBay rather than for the already rediculous retail price.Behavior like this is not rational human behavior, thus it must be influenced by some outside force. Sony is looking pretty guilty.
