Sony, Sony, Sony... *facepalm*

Over eight and a half years since Sony decided to play a nice game of "we have altered the deal, pray we don't alter it further" with me, I finally get to put my grudge to rest... kind of.  My settlement check came in today's mail.  They did stick with their plan of offering "up to $65" per claim, depending on the number of claims, but my prior unease about how they came up with that number looks to have been spot on, since the check I got was a whopping $10.07.

So, yeah, I've gotten some compensation, years after the fact, for the feature Sony removed, so I don't have any direct reason to keep them on my "no buy" list any longer.  That said, implying a $65 payout and delivering a $10 payout doesn't make me eager to give them my trust any time soon.
