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.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
