<br>Having worked for Sony development in Ginza-ku, Japan. I sat with some of the smartest brains in Tokyo and discussed the future of technology. Granted this was in the early 90's but the development plan was designed around the Japanese throw away society. This means that the majority of the Japanese people are looking for the latest and greatest product and will most likely replace their technology every 2 to 3 years. I can remember dumpster diving on Sunday evenings in Tokyo for TVs and radios that were being thrown away that were in perfect working condition and only a year old. The engineers at Sony developed life cycle engineering down to the solder points on the circuit boards. Why would they want to build something that lasts longer than 3 years if they want to encourage the consumer to buy the best that technology can offer during the product replacement life cycle. From rice cookers to LCD's, Sony has not truly built a reliable product since the early 90's. I am not a naysayer but having worked for them and knowing their mentality and my past experience, I will never buy another Sony product. Hope this helps provide a little insight. <br><br>
