Consumerist Post About Broken Laptop Gets Reader Full Refund Within 3 Hours
By Laura Northrup on December 15, 2011 4:00 PM
28 Comments
Once again, Costco saves the day. Last week, we posted the story of Tom, who bought a Sony Vaio laptop from Costco only to have it malfunction a little more than a year after purchase. Sony didn't seem to want to fix the problem at all, and Costco employees were very kind but couldn't intervene. Only a few hours after that post went up, Costco contacted Tom, and gave him a full refund for the computer's purchase price. More »
Sony Will Make "Moneyball" Downloadable Before Offering It On Disc

As watching movies online — legally — becomes more popular, discs are gradually moving to the wayside. Sony is helping things along in this direction by announcing it will offer Moneyball online Dec. 22, 19 days before it hits shelves on Blu-ray and DVD. Indie films often get this sort of treatment, but it's rare that you see a major studio film take the increasingly popular distribution plan. More »

Sony currently lets you store downloaded games on a total of five PS3s or PSPs, but it's cutting back on those limits. Starting Nov. 18, you'll only be able to store a game on two PS3s or two PSPs. Some games, such as PlayStation 1 classics and PSP Minis, are playable on both systems, and you can play those on two PS3s and two PSPs each. More »
Sony Rewards Item Not Such A Great Deal Once You Actually Want To Buy It

Jonathan has a Sony Rewards credit card with Capital One, and tried to use his accumulated points to buy an AV receiver, Sony's "deal of the week," from the rewards site. There's a special price this week for members, only 24,000 points. Great! Jonathan has that many points! Only the site won't let him (or anyone) buy the item for the advertised sale price. More »
Good Night, Sony Dream Machine
By Laura Northrup on October 27, 2011 8:00 AM

The Sony Dream Machine isn't an iconic, distinctive product like the iMac or the Dyson bladeless fan. It is, however, ubiquitous: if you've never owned at least one, you've surely stayed in a hotel or guest room equipped with one. They've been on the market for 30 years or so, and have come equipped with FM dials, tape decks, CD players, and iPod docks. Now Sony is discontinuing the long-lived, diverse brand with the evocative and ironic name. More »

Headlines are blaring about the 1.6 million 40" Sony Bravia TVs getting recalled for fire and smoke risk, but they're overlooking a key fact. The recalled models were only sold in Japan. No recall has been issued in America. However, there are 400,000 models that were sold in the US that contain the same component that prompted the Japan recall. Here are the Sony Bravia TV model numbers you should check to see if you have. More »

Out to swipe some profits from the used video game machine, some publishers have moved toward packing new games with codes that unlock online features and selling the codes to those who buy the games used. Sony is going all-in on the tactic, announcing all games it publishes, starting with next month's Uncharted 3, will be stuck with online passes. More »

Movie Theaters May Start Charging For 3-D Glasses
By Chris Morran on September 28, 2011 2:40 PM

In case you thought that part of that higher ticket price you pay for seeing a 3-D movie goes to pay for the glasses required to see the often poorly done, post-production 3-D effects, you're mistaken. It's the studios behind these big-budget cash-ins that have been footing the bill, but that could all change in the next year. More »
