An Open Letter to Sony
Dear Sony,
As a former purchaser of Sony products, I must express my sincere displeasure that you continue to make streaming media apps available on your Playstation 5. Given the large number of DVD's I own, including many rare editions and steelbook series editions, I must urge you to reconsider allowing consumers to stream media when DVD is a superior medium. Your continued support of streaming apps directly undercuts dedicated collectors as myself who once relied on Sony technology, like DVD players, to view this media. Additionally, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that online streaming apps do not allow the richness of experience that DVD's allow through hidden tracks and extra commentary. Timeless audio features like Ben Affleck's commentary on Armageddon deserve to be included in the conversation with media itself. I represent a small but growing minority of frustrated consumers ready to boycott Sony if you continue to allow these travesties to continue.
I urge you to do what is right, not what is convenient. History will remember whether Sony stood with the streamers or with the true guardians of cinema.
