RE: If you're thinking of buying a SONY......

Electronics are mass produced and there is a continuous downward pressure on prices. This combination does not produce the best of conditions for reliable products. My experience with Sony is up and down. I had a vhs vcr and took it back to the store within a few minutes. Pure junk. Same with the sony beta vcrs and one dvd player I had. In sony's defense all of these products were el cheapo stuff. I LOVED the 36" tubes from sony (not cheap btw - you could buy a 50" plasma for what this baby cost) and it is still in service with one of the kids. Presently I have a 60" sxrd (and I am very happy with its performance) and 2 BDPS1 blurays. The S1 sounds much better and cost less than the pioneer DV79 it replaced. (on dvds of course and its built like a tank - gotta love those first generation products) I do think that evaluating a large conglomerate like Sony should be balanced and viewed with respect to each product.
