Think that Amazon's going to win this battle? Think again. There was a time when it was the other way around and it was Sony that thought that they could be arrogant jerks - Anybody remember the Betamax?

This time around Sony has clearly learned their lesson, and they have my full support.
Wow. just wow. You'd think Amazon execs had beat you with a stick or something.


also, regarding the Betamax comparison...

Many people say that it's primarily due to the large library of good games that the NES had.

Same with Kindle. Amazon has the biggest bookstore of quality books, so I still give them the leading edge in this competition.
