Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
Let's hope other companies won't follow. Dropping support for RPTV means fewer low-cost HDTV options, thus fewer people getting into the HD market and switching from DVD to HDM.
Would've thought Sony would think of that, but then again, Sony isn't low-cost to begin with.
I think Sony wasn't making enough money off the SXRD line as the price dropped so quickly. So I am betting this was done to put emphasis on the more profitable Bravia LCD line. But if you are fan of 60" to 70" size HDTV's, which I am, it's a sad day. Right now the 52" LCD is the biggest afforable one one and really it is not all that big. I guess the 60" Pioneer Elite Kuro is going to get much more popular because of this move. I just hope Sony keeps making the lamps for these TV's for a good long time. I may have to stock up on a few extra bulbs.
What great business sense Sony has. Let's stop producing a product that is so popular that it's on backorder.
I can't wait until the death of Blu-ray and Sony along with it. This company sucks.
