Battery prices are way to high...

[JoeB.]

hi,
check out the prices for original sony batteries by ebay... they go in somecases for less than 100 euro's. sony ist asking 249 euro's for a battery, were i've been told from insiders that the production cost ist around 42 euro's per battery. sony had better come of off this "bend-over" trip before i put a spell on them. my battery has 73 chargecycles on it, and the capacity is already starting to decay, now there is no way that i would pay 249 euro's for a battery. i'd rather sell my vaio notebook and get a dell notebook.

SONY Stop this rip-off

OK Dave.... but keep in mind... if nobody would "rebel"... then they would propably sell you stuff that is as old as the daylight... are you working for SONY???

LOL Joe, Dave's not working for Sony, but I do agree with you, the prices are high.

[tellingd]

Sorry Jo, my rebellious days have come and gone

I'm now Mr Average and (usually) quite happy. Normally I would be quite indignant at such practices but I have other things to annoy me at the moment

Just remember, if you think that Sony are making enormous amounts of profit then you do have the opportunity to share in those profits

Dave,

That's very true indeed, you buy shares in Sony and luckily it'll go up a few points, and everyone's happy.
