Literally have had a 25 year sustained hate-boner for Sony.

@Moon It seems like the only things they will ever be known for are the Walkman and the PlayStation brand. Everything else is just useless junk that has better alternatives.

@xianc78 Don't forget Minidisc

@Moon Oh yeah, they also made Blu-Ray but I think Sony fucked it up by making it an even more proprietary and DRM filled format than DVD and it was just a few years before digital downloads and eventually streaming took off. Now, it will have the legacy as a niche format like LaserDisc.

@xianc78 Wait a minute are you talking shit about laserdisc

@Moon @xianc78 I wouldn't exactly call them "niche", considering they were basically mainstream in Japan all the way up to when DVDs really started taking off there.

@allison @Moon I think VCDs were also popular there. I heard that VHS didn't take off in many parts of Asia because the humidity levels would deteriorate them faster.
