Support NeoGAF

Why would you do that?

Someone could ask the same thing of why would anyone have a dedicated music player connected to a dedicated AVR connected to multiple speakers with wires.

The idea is to have a single high-end box that takes care of all of those requirements in one package. There's a market for high-end soundbars and wireless environments like Sonos, so there should be some market, albeit small, for a device like that. It would be great to have in a study..... LOL.

So are sponsored threads a thing now?

Sony is in bigger trouble than I thought if they are sponsoring Neogaf threads. Wow.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Those cameras are sexy af. It's a shame I'm poor.

Also I've put my Vaio through some hell and it's still going. I did get another (Samsung) laptop to replace it though because it will die very soon.

I can nearly feel my CPU dying. If I watch a video for more than 15 minutes it becomes a noisy radiator and slows down

2008 model I think



Also, I'm sure we've had Apple threads like this without people going on about corporate shills

 

[terrisus]

Not remotely close to being my favorite company though.

They make expensive products and I often can't stop myself from buying them. We have a flagship Sony TV from a few years ago. If it ever breaks, I would consider a Sony just as much as I would another brand.

Where do I sign up to get paid to post on gaf?

 

[bigkrev]

I normally have Earbuds crap out (break, loose sound in 1 ear) after a few months not matter how much I spend on them. Bought a 25 dollar pair of Sony Earbuds over a year ago, and I not only like the sound better than my Bose IE2's, but they are still going strong.

I love Sony products to death.

Um, I think people can make threads admiring design aesthetic without being shills.

 

[The Boat]

They've gotten back on track lately, which is good to see.

 

[EmeraldSwords]

Sony still makes great stuff, abit on the pricey side though.

 

[Sobriquet]

Please tell me the thread title was changed by a mod. :|

 

[Deleted member 325805]

My £600 Sony Bravia TV died just after a year, the screen went. Luckily I had insurance and got a new screen for free, but it did take awhile.

 

[Himynameischris]

Yup, I love my Xperia tablet (first one) and my vita. I still have an older point and shoot cybershot which still works great

 

[RM8]

Their phones are good, my favorite Android phones out there, actually (I'm now a lowly iPhone user, though). I had a beautiful desktop Vaio for the longest time and it still works well for whatever my father does with it. I still sometimes use my ancient Sony Tablet S, it's still snappy and compatible with most apps. On the gaming side, PS3 was too huge, too slow and too underwhelming coming from PS2, but still ended up being a good system - PS4 seems to fix most of that, I guess. Vita, to be perfectly honest, needed to be cheaper even that means having lower specs. Sorry GAF, but you know it's true

engineering perfection

Samsung is now the lead producer of consumer electronics. But undoubtedly, Sony paved the way with their foresight and technology... in the 90's.

Good show, old sport.

Back in the late 90's the Sony professional CRTs were damn expensive but god-tier. Then their quality went to shit and so did customer service.

What kept me from investing in their digital cameras and devices was largely the proprietary media storage formats (MemoryStick) which would change drastically even with their own cameras and never had enough of an ecosystem to take away the sting

As for PlayStation, I simply prefer the Xbox's exclusives.

Now, I just think their issue is less their quality and more the fact that a lot of electronics have become commodities; you either have to be a Samsung and shoot the market full of cheap stuff or be Apple and focus on high-end, fewer models. Sony seems stuck in the middle.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Sony has the best of everything.

I even prefer Sony VHS tapes.

 

[outunderthestars]

I love my Z2. <3

But this thread is missing these cans. The most comfortable pair I've ever worn. Can't game/watch tv without them now.

Which headphones are these?

 

[chickdigger802]

i just wish they could figure out the software side.


vita always gives me some weird error trying to get on psn usually requires hard restart of the system.

took me 4 min to delete some game which is insane.

used ps3 for a few years, but still can't recall where different setting stuff are located on the xmb. And im pretty sure the ps3 is melting trying to render the current psn store.


ps4 OS looks snazzy, but is it usable after you have a dozen+ games?


There hardware stuff is pure sex though. Even the 'budget' vita 2k looks pretty damn great.

 

[Tablo]

Which headphones are these?

Sony MDR1 MK2

 

[Frank Zappa]

The wireless speaker looks impressive, but the price. Way too expensive.

I would pay $200 for it.

It says on the box!

Can I use your Employee discount OP?

[bidguy]

who needs ads when you have fans like these

Smaller, more powerful and it has integrated PSU. Sony engineering skills are something else.

Gaming Performance

Perhaps, someday soon, competing manufacturers will be able to unravel the secrets behind Sony’s Game Mode but, until then, they will be ahead of the pack when it comes to producing TVs with incredibly low latency. Using our specialised testing equipment we took measurements ranging between 19.5 to 22.3 milliseconds lag to controller input, which is just in to the second frame of a game running natively at 60fps and within the first of one running at 30.

this quote from one of the articles in OP is a bunch of fanboy drivel
there's plenty of monitors out there with 1-8 ms input lag (no not response time before someone confuses the two again)
There's no 'magic' or 'technical wizardry' in that tv

 

[seventynine]

Them and Apple.

My brief dalliance with Samsung didn't go too well.

Competing manufacturers (of television sets).

Calm down.

 

[Kyoufu]

I see them on Amazon for $175.

Expensive, but worth it to me.

 

[injurai]

They're probably amongst my favorite aesthetically. Always reminds me of something from a cyberpunk anime or something. They can be hard to justify purchasing in NA though.

 

[RM8]

I appreciate this too. I'm honestly very shallow when it comes to devices in that I'm likely to go for a lesser deal for very dumb stuff like color or design :x

 

[Webbie]

Longdi sure does love hanging out in Sony threads, hmmmm.

 

[Esch]

Sony still hires pretty good astroturfers imho. *fapfapfap*

 

[longdi]

Below is one of their classic design, a really nice mesh of retro Trinitron + Bravia back then. And before long, the other guys /*cough* samsung, started doing their own version of the floating panel look!

 

[velociraptor]

I like Sony products. They make very good TVs and their designs are spot on. However, they're expensive.

I have a Samsung TV hooked up at the moment but it's pretty awful and Samsung have no concept of quality control.

Panasonic is another manufacturer that makes high quality products.

Brought to you by the least subtle viral marketing ever!

When do you enough marketing, people start doing marketing for you.

 

[scion_barzahd]

i luuuv my sony: ps3, ps4, vita, smarttv, xperia z1...hope to see them back to the top

 

[Gentleman Jack]

A $70 pair of sony earbuds lasted me roughly four months before falling apart from daily use. I'll buy their video game consoles but not anything else.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

That Z2 battery life, hnnnnnggh...

 

[hitme]

Someone get me a Z1 Compact pls.

 

[ComputerBlue]

My dad is convinced Sony is the only electronics manufacturer still worth paying for and because of that, it's why they're losing money because they actually build quality products that are built to last so they sell less. I agree with him to some degree, but I also think there are others out there as well.

That being said, I have a Walkman from the mid 80s and a boombox from the early 90s that are Sony products and still work great. Did have a PS3 die on me though.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Well, neogaf need fund.

those e3 server upgrades aren't going to pay for themselves

I want a Alpha 7s so fucking bad.

 

[tokkun]

Sony's camera division is the best part of the company. They produce the best sensors and camera bodies in the industry. That said, they are somehow managing to lose marketshare in the DSLR segment.

 

[DieH@rd]

Believe me, they know. They will sell that division ASAP.
