I am putting Sony on a two-year boycott for this.

do you think this order came from the ceo? sony is a monster company, no doubt with billions of divisions, vice presidents, and managers. the audio cd people have likely never even met the dvd player people. the dvd player people haven't met the television people. etc. sony has gotten a lot of deserved anti-press over this.
your boycott won't do anything individually, which i'm sure you know, but feel it's worth it on principle which would be fine. but what i'm suggesting is that the idea of boycotting everything they make (if that is your intention) seems kind of dumb, because each division can effectively be seen as its own company. for a philosophical boycott, how about just skipping their audio cds? that way if you think the playstation 3 or some other product looks cool, you can still buy one.

Absolutely I want to punish the whole company. It encourages Sony and other companies to create cultures of responsibility and holds them accountable.
