So instead they make their first customers eat the cost if they want to upgrade. I, for one, will not ever buy another Sony product because of this. We supported them by buying a new, rather expensive, untried product and for our support (which BTW showed the product to be viable) they turn around ad screw us. Bad, bad business decision.
