waste Rant

[Beta Man]

So, Signed up for the sony card to get the disount, even though I had some reservations about doing so, but anyways.... a few days ago, I get a tin that looks like a 2-pack of tennis balls (metal pop open lid and all) it's full of shredded wood shavings for packing protection purposes, and it has a "SONY" button in it.... it's the "easy button" that has a USB connector, and cable going to this button, so if you plug it into your computer, you just push the button and it takes you to the sony-style website (or maybe it's just Sony's website, but I'm guessing sony-style since they are in the business of selling stuff!) either way, I didn't try it... and threw it out, but thought that it was ridiculously wasteful, and that sony was flaunting their cash......

Not to marketing dept. stop sending me stupid junk, I like your Televisions, I'll buy one, send me a coupon, not a stupid "Button" and when I'm ready to buy one, I'll find your website..... I'm pretty sure I can remember to google "sony" if all else fails.

Nice Unfortunately, these gimmicks have been working on people for years. The novelty factor has long since worn off for people like us, but for others, it can be the greatest thing ever.

I put it in the "file" and It's probably burried in dirty diapers at this point!
