The point is that they have and they can.

But then you can't use basic features such as collections. Amazon have designed their devices this way purely as a deterrent to not registering the device.

Amazon has avoided tax to the tune of BILLIONS over the last few years. They have paid tax at a rate of less than 1%. Why should Amazon be allowed to do that when workers on minimum wage pay many times more than that? They treat their temp workers like crap and they don't give to charity.

IMO that's a pretty strong argument for not buying Amazon. Companies like Amazon damage our society and I choose not to buy from them.

So anyway, looks like the next Sony will be crap. Lol.
