    Sony consoles were usually also good multimedia machines. PS3 was one of the best Blu-ray players you could get and even at 599 US Dollars you’d still save like $500. The PSP came years before the iPhone as a handheld multimedia machine (with its own app store to boot). Now that every TV and phone is a spy box you subscribe to, they lost another function

      yeah, i remember when my first dvd player (i don’t remember how much it cost, it just felt expensive. this was like 25 years ago.) died, i was dreading having to get a bd player. the first one i found that could also go on netflix was like, $75 or something. I was so stunned i didn’t shop around at all. that machine almost still works!
