According to the BBC: 'A spokeswoman for CeBIT told BBC News Online: "We received complaints from many, many exhibitors about Sony, including from Microsoft."' I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the other articles. I guess it makes it a more interesting story if Microsoft was the main instigator.

TiVo's customer service isn't perfect either.
My friend's less than 3 month old TiVo was recently sent in for repairs and was replaced with a refurbished unit 4 hardware revisions and nearly 2 years older then the brand new unit he sent in.
TiVo apparently thought nothing of knocking a sizable chunk out of the expected lifetime of his unit and said they could not provide a unit closer in age to his original. Luckily this one too was broken and the third one he received was much younger.
Other than that the service has been great. It truly changes the way you watch tv.
