@Matt,
Sony BMG still has music available on Xbox Live if I’m not mistaken.
Also keep in mind everyone that Sony Pictures is not the same as Sony BMG or Sony Computer Entertainment. They are different entities all together, sure they share the Sony label and I’m sure profits end up stopping somewhere at the top with someone overseeing everything but Sony as a whole is not the same as Microsoft as a whole.
Sony gives too much freedom to it’s various areas and thus resulting in different rules for different media markets(one of Sony’s dumbest ideas). Hence music is sold through Xbox, but Movies are not(ATM) the story states that licensing is the issue (we all know about Sony’s love of DRM.)
So Matt, it seems you’re the one turning to pot shots because you don’t understand the whole picture, much like Palin doesn’t understand the whole picture of…..wait, does Palin have a functioning brain?

Kind of sad, but I really don’t blame Sony. They might as well start running their business like the McCain/Palin ticket…destined to lose so turning to pot shots.

You know I always wondered about that and always thought Sony was really cool for allowing their media to be on competitors products…..this better just be a licensing issue otherwise the backlash will not be good for Sony…..

Go Marlins!!!!
