    We really need to start drug testing those in charge at Sony. They’ve been at it a while. I remember making the mistake of buying one of their early digital cameras, only to find out their memory sticks were $120 for 128MB. SD cards were maybe half that. Was all downhill from there.

    I thought this must be a halo product that's not intended to be sold in volume, it just exists to make their cheaper products look normal. But here's all their MP3 players:

    Their cheapest branded "Walkman" is $1900. Their cheapest "digital media player" is $400. And they all just look like Android phones with extra buttons.

    What kind of Walkman doesn’t play cassettes? Can’t wait to see what they come up with for a $9,999.99 Discman.

    It is for zillionaires. Its like $3 to them; fraction of second of interest on their accounts. That's why its gold in color.
