Hot: Sony plans Reader successor for this year - Page 4

The $50 Connect Store Credit wasn't ever based on a coupon, but rather on the registration of a Reader to a Connect Account -- you'd've had to have gotten your Reader and registered it by 12/31 to get the credit, unfortunately.

I don't suppose it really makes any difference at this stage, but there it is.

I am not going to get too excited about this Connect book sales report because there were a lot of preliminary reports of the great success of Sony's UMD Movie sales for the PSP handheld, and that medium is currently all but dead. According to the early reports the sales of UMDs outstripped games for the device and there was talk of second generation PSPs the first six months after it appeared.

Saying they sold more $ in books than in music really just shows how far Sony's star has sunk. Am I mixing metaphors?
