Sony late 90s electronics are like nuclear bomb proof

I don't know why but I've usually had great luck with my Sony electronics. To the point where you'd assume I'm a fanboy (I probably am).

I've got a handme down selection of hifi equipment from the 80s, my atrac walkman and mp3 walkman from the 00s, a laptop from 09, tv from 13, Bluetooth headphones from 18. All still working.

Their phones have been hit and miss but no worse than any other I've owned I guess and they still give you an SD card slot and headphone jack so until there is an alternative I will stick with them

I had one of the early Discman that got sat on hard and it couldn’t pick the disc up enough to spin it without scraping but if you turned that fucker upside down it would still play without skipping on the school bus

That's before (they) decided having everything break in short order is profitable

I still have a 2007/2008 Sony Bravia Flat Screen TV going strong. Even a MINiDV Camcorder from the same time period is still working. Love Sony! Only wish they still had ample variety of electronics like they once did.
