If it says "sony" on the item it is overpriced junk. Aside from a few tv's there is nothing sony I would consider, you can find better offerings from numerous companies if you are considering a htib.
The only good things I've ever used that were made by Sony were some Wega CRT TVs and my MDR-7506 headphones. That's it.

well, I'm very happy with my sony str da5000es receiver and my temporary speakers ss-mb350 couldn't have sounded better for 80$. I know sony has a lot off overpriced stuff, but they also have lot of products that have a real good value. I would never have bought cheap sony receiver because the are much worse that other receiver for the same price but I know of people that have changed from several thosand dollar receiver and bought digital sony receiver and been realy happy with it. I think the reason their products are misgood is because they are allways trying new technology. Some of it works and others don't. I also think it's kind of a trend to dislike sony as it is with microsoft. It's so easy to hate the big companies.
i like microsoft, most of their stuff anyway. sony makes some good products, but generally their ht stuff seems pretty cheap and overpriced. some of the receivers are nice from what ive experienced, but their speakers arent very impressive.
my friend bought a 1200 dollar in a box system from the sony store, and it broke within 2 weeks. he replaced it and it did the same thing.. after the 3rd one broke he just got his money back.
it might be trendy to dislike sony, and bose for that matter.. but they are both understandable.
