I haven't bought anything from Sony since the rootkit episode. I also convinced my friend not to buy a Sony TV.

I was thinking lately whether to end my self-imposed boycott of Sony, but apparently Sony wants me to continue.

Sony Response to PS3 jailbreak prompts boycots...

I was thinking lately whether to end my self-imposed boycott of Sony, but apparently Sony wants me to continue.

The rootkit episode didn't cause me to boycot Sony, because it looked only like another example of Dilbertian corporate stupidity, but going after the PS3 jailbreakers with lawyers is evil. No more Sony products for me, or my family members.
