People will go out of their way to post rants for imagined things they're unhappy about which don't necessarily have anything to do with reality or the product actually offered.
If you like the product and the company go with it and ignore the rants of people who don't have a clue what they're talking about. You have to take product and store reviews with a grain of salt. It's frightening how utterly clueless Joe Q Public is when it comes to a great many things. And remember too, you're not hearing both sides of the story. You're only hearing their interpretation of what they think they heard when that may not be what was actually said or had happened.
Frankly after reading the first page of so-called reviews on the Sony store on resellerratings, I'd never go back to that site for anything. Anybody can post anything they want online. It doesn't mean it's true.

Black PRS-950s are apparently sold in New Zealand and perhaps other locations. There's a thread on the forum here discussing it and one poster posted a link to a site selling them. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark the thread but it wouldn't make any difference to me because I couldn't get one anyway.
I'm not so sure I agree with you in regards to customer service and Reselleratings.com. They're one of the few reputable sites (unlike the BBB which gets funding from the very companies they rate) who report/rate customer satisfaction that in my experience has been fairly accurate. Almost every time I've ordered from a company that had a low rating on reselleratings I had a bad experience like the others who rated the company low. Likewise, the company with good ratings I've nearly always had good experiences.
