Absolute shocker by SONY I don't care how much they want to protect their contents & stuff but to sneakily put a software/spyware inside customers computer that will compromise the computer is absolute disgrace..as if there isn't enuff problem alredy with virus/trojans now this crap..

I wouldn't trust what SONY says..if anyone do go for replacement I would triple check again that there isn't some other spyware stuff inside..

Not surprise ppl hav boycott SONY products...I may do the same Was going to get a Playstation 3 when its out BUT not anymore.. XBOX 360 here I come
