More Unacceptable News On The SONY Front

Seems the New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's office sent secret shoppers out to a number of stores to see if SONY are living up to their recent promise to pull malware infected CDs from retailers shelves. The results are not very good.

Spitzer's office sent investigators disguised as shoppers to several large music chains, including Virgin Megastore, FYE, Best Buy, Circuit City, Sam Goody, and Wal-Mart; the investigators were able to purchased copy-protected CDs at all the stores they visited.

They were also promised quick delivery of the CDs in question from 5 of 7 online retailers.

"It is unacceptable that more than three weeks after this serious vulnerability was revealed, these same CDs are still on shelves, during the busiest shopping days of the year," said Spitzer in a statement.

Yes, couldn't agree more. Apparently SONY forgets the big guy is making a list and checking it twice. . .
