Jason, repealing the federal gas tax of .18/gallon isn't going to make a material difference in the economy

What does the government want people to buy HD tv's for by next Feb?

No, you can keep your existing TV, it just means that you will require a digital box to decode the signal.

I agree with Eddie on this one. No matter what Sony product you're talking about, they have been notorious for the exuberant pricing of their products.

I agree with this, too. Sony has always overpriced their items and they are overrated -- then again, Sony is not the only company guilty of corporate greed and overrated products. To be honest, the only Sony product I've owned that has not given me major to minor issues is my PS2. However, I should point out that a $300 to $400 Blu-ray player is a far cry from $1000 just over a year ago, so technically the prices have dropped drastically.

I have no doubt that high energy costs have contributed to rising costs of their products, but Sony is not the only company raising prices. As I've said, high prices for just about anything are everywhere right now, and high fuel costs are surly part of the blame.

Agreed, Tim. Maybe we should be discussing/ranting about politics and the environazis keeping us from using our Alaskan oil reserves to become independant from the stranglehold of the middle east Oil cornered market. ?

I'm no enviro-Nazi, but maybe we should be looking at renewable fuels instead of depleting all the fossil fuels. Create several new industries (and jobs), clean up the environment AND be less beholden to petroleum...

Jason, thinking out loud

Instead of hijacking, I'm going to carry this into a new thread.
