This is the latest in this nonsensical ongoing request to force FM receivers into everything. What a dumb decision. As always, Penny Arcade puts it rather elegantly.

As much as I lament when someone like Sony or whoever drops backwards compatibility features, at no point in any of my complaints do I suggest it shouldn't be legal for them to drop that support. I'd never support any sort of lawsuit forcing legacy compatibility.
In other news, I'd love to have that HDTV/Puppet Theater combo. That thing looks sweet.
