Sony Most Powerful/Trusted Brand.

[What'sHD]

I think a % of early adopters/geeks have been burned or imagine that they have been, by Sony.

But then, early adopters always get a little burned. It's a sampling bias issue which causes the hatred of Sony cos they, more than any CE company I know, are more likely to push the envelope and try out/push new tech/formats. So, they end up "burning" more early adopters. CE companies that happily follow and never lead will never burn early adopters. Imo

Thats prob what the dude above means when he says Sony brand-name is holding back BD, but he should know it comes across as him saying that J6P thinks that of Sony. That is not true.. and the proof is not anecdotal, badly sampled or bias-inspired, its a full-on survey.
