No i would\'nt bitch about Live, cause you can find it in the stores...And if the case is that sony doesnt want to let to many 56kers on thier server and thats why the product is not on the shelves, well then do the same thing as Live and go BroadBand only and charge a yearly fee...I am 24 and i dont have to worry about my mommy paying for it for me...I have 2 reasons why i didnt buy Sonys product..
1. It is a 56k modem as well as a ethernet card..Sry but i do not need a 56k modem, so why pay for the modem at $49.99, Rather then pick-up a 3 party Ethernet for approx. $19.99...Sony suggestion: For All US Broadband owners maybe you might want to sell a broadband only adapter, i am sure your brains that you are paying in you marketing depart. can think of that..
2. ITS NOT IN ANY STORES..Sony only ships out a certain amount..Why? My guess is that the host servers that the have up are shit..
In conclusion, Sony u suck, your support sucks, and quite frankly the game isnt all that.. either..
