SCEA has historically been very valuable to the Sony family and while we aren't without our failures, have represented the Sony brand well. I'm just frustrated that there are companies that I am affiliated with that choose to do such obviously foolish things (IMHO). Jack, that is a really good point that I hadn’t considered.

For example. Sony was the first to come out with personal audio devices like the Walkman, and during that time was very innovative with their products. So once the brand name recognition was developed to a high positive, the Sony management decided to label all things Sony. This sold a LOT of consumer good products but then it also sold a LOT of over priced crap under the Sony Label. This Root kit fiasco Damaged the Sony Brand name and the management team that did the damage should all be fired because of the harm to the Sony name. but that was not done, which says a lot about Sony Upper management. Also it is not up to the consumer to try to figure out the corporate structure to figure out which division or subdivision to boycott. What the management of your devision needs to decide is can they sell more products as "Sony Computer Entertainment America" or "Computer Entertainment America"?? If you need the "Sony" to help your sales then you need to take the good with the bad. Mike, I understand your frustration, but you or actually Sony gets the good with the bad. For example.
