SONY is always screwing around trying to corner a market by having proprietary format of some kind, they're a p.i.t.a. ...
I have to agree. Though that device looks really slick, Sony has maintained its rep as a format/digital rights monster, esp since last year's double root-kit violations. I haven't bought a Sony CD since then, much less a player. I imagine those moves lost them far more money than Sony ever saved in their attempts to avoid pirated copies... Just my .02.
