Zing! Don’t try to watch your copy of Watchmen on your Vaio laptop with Blu-Ray on your Sony TV! Says one forum member at quartertothree.com
I bought the watchmen DVD. Pretty cool right. Tried to play it on my sony laptop hooked up via hdmi to my sony flatscreen. Crashed of course. This was only annoying. The next six hours spent upgrading and rebooting the sony software that the sony updater software forgot to tell me about was fun. Even now, I’m at a point where I can hear audio on the commercials, but my entire sony setup tells me it can’t understand the audio format when trying to play a sony blu-ray disc on my sony setup.
The author also notes that “Sony sucks balls the size of Los Angeles.” Another posulates:
Man, you wouldn’t believe the amount of trouble I had hooking up my PS3 to a brand new Bravia TV last month. It still won’t work over HDMI!
I truly believe the different departments of Sony Corporation are entirely staffed by different breeds of hamster.
I simply state that Sony has gone so far off mission that I wouldn’t be surprised if they start selling Sony Slap-Chops.
That is so broke.
I mean I never liked Sony though. But people swearing a company names is not a good thing. Well unless they have paid a lot and are left with junk.
Customer care should be reading this.
Sony is a very schizophrenic company. The consumer electronics side of the company would love to make it easier for people to play movies in any combination of connected gadgets they want, but the record label and movie studio sides of the company, being full-fledged members of the Music And Film Industry Associations of America (MAFIAA), don’t like this idea at all. It shows up frequently in the consumer electronics side’s hamstrung devices.
As always, of course, The Onion gets it right.
The apple has fallen very far from the tree, Mr. Wayne.
Not only won’t your movie play – it installed a rootkit in your underwear. Avoid Sony at all costs. Sony is DRM obsessed.
Ack, seeing that video in pixelated non-HD form makes me want to cry.
Serves you right for buying Sony
