The thread kicked off with a number of other brands, actually - but coming down to PB and Sony only, for me the choice came down to evaluating the trade offs - I haven't actually seen a PB360, while I have seen (and played around) with the Sony, and I am certainly not arguing agaist its screen or the rest of the hardware, not disputing the usefulness of the touch screen. But I do have a PB903, so I now what their Vizplex screen looks like, and the other positives of the Sony are not enough for me to compensate three features that are top for me: the variety of formats that PB can deal with, the availability of a micro SD card slot, and the fact that I can customize the functions of the device in many ways (ok, the themse are fun but inessential, but e.g. being able to reassigning functions to the various buttons is great).

maybe you have other threads in mind, but re-reading this it seems to me we have all the usual "suspects" (Kindle, sony, etc) - official selelrs aside, I do not think anyone here gets a royalty if any of the brands makes an extra sale
, I presume it is just the enthusiasm of people happy with their purchase: if you put it as above, your comments may come across very much like aggressive pimping for a sony, clearly you haven't tried a PB360
