Sony loses $50 per laptop thanks to those meddling bloggers [Fresh Start]

Translate Into:

Tech bloggers are all worked up again. They're pissed that favorite whipping-boy Sony is charging $50 to not include "bundles" of trial software with new PC's. Engadget's Paul Miller writes:

Or here's an idea, Sony: stop trying to milk profits and start giving consumers laptops that actually work out of the box.

Sony is just trying to take care of their shareholders by keeping margins up -- just like any other manufacturer. The company thought it could get away with charging $50 to replace lost revenue from paid placement of trial software without anyone noticing the absurdity of the situation. After the uproar, Sony changed its tune and will now offer its "Fresh Start" option for free. We suspect the other computer makers will follow suit shortly. Sony, next time just keep your mouth shut and we'll all get rich, ok?
