In my opinion, Sony's demise as a vendor coincided with the implementation of their pointless strategy of selling to resellers at all. Set-top boxes are not available for purchase by the general public under any circumstances because they were all provided to distributors with the expectation that they will sell them for twice as much. I was forced to purchase it for 62,000, is there any chance that Sony will reimburse me the difference in price between what the hucksters were asking and what the official pricing was? Why should I pay for this arbitrary thief's bandit behavior?
