This deal might be good for TiVo, who've seemed to have been struggling financially to date. I'll just have to see how much more sony products cost with TiVo included." This is good news for anyone with a TiVo.

    Ugh, not for me. Sony is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, much like Microsoft (which most people seem to forget around here). Yes, they've made us 18-24 year-olds happy with the Playstation, marketted directly to our demographic. But the honest truth is that they are just as coniving, cunning, and ruthless as any other conglomerate. I'll pass.
