Humbly disagreeing. I was a die hard sony fan, until I had two bad experiences with Sony. First from LCD days, when my 32incher went kaput right after the warranty was over. Company asked for 60% of TV cost for replacement, which I refused and threw it in garbage. Second one was with my sony xperia mobile which was with service center more often than with me. Those incidents marked the end of Sony days for me.
I enjoyed lot of sony products like sony walkmans, sony CRTs, sony DVD player, sony sound system, sony play stations etc, but I feel of late Sony started losing its quality edge.
