When you compare Apple to Sony, I can't guess how much less money Apple spent on it's Macworld setup compared to Sony's CES setup... and yet it's the Apple product that is gaining all the headlines and oh-so-coveted customer awareness.

No, Sony couldn't exactly duplicate the Apple experience since it has an infinitely larger product base, and not quite the fan following, but Sony could certainly take notes. There's a difference between advertising and smart advertising... both work, but the predictable giant in the room doesn't necessarily gets more bang for it's buck than the entertaining midget.

(Case in point... as cool as a giant tower of LCD TVs is, it's not convincing me to buy Sony, and in 5 minutes I've completely forgetten about it.)]]>Jan 12th 2007 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 13th 2007 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/For me, price is the true winner. What's in a name? Nothing.]]>Jan 12th 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/
Monster Cable spent 10-15% of it's annual advertising budget at CES. Samsung is spending $875,000 just for the floor space of their booth this year, not to mention set-up, equipment, staffing, insurance, travel, hotels, food, hand-outs, other displays, and more that all goes for a premium during CES week.

That's a lot of money, and at the end of the day there's not a single product at CES that I am more likely to buy than before it all started, if I didn't read about a company's booth at CES it won't affect me at all when I swing into the store to pick up my next gadget.

Sure some people get caught up in the hype and are influenced, but is Monster Cable really going to see in increase of sales proportionate to it's expenditures of CES? I'd guess not... but then, who am I?]]>Jan 12th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/
People react to what they can see and hear, so if you can afford to be the Times Square of CES, then you're guaranteeing that you will be seen and heard. People in your situation who are scoffing have already MADE their decisions, and yep, in those cases, you're right, it wouldn't affect anything, unless something you thought was great turned out to be a dud, or vice versa.]]>Jan 12th 2007 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/
Other than that... cool stuff. Some of those TVs are beautiful. Unfortunately, I'm just not in a position to lay down multiple thousands of dollars for a new TV right now. I just bought a 51" rear-projection CRT, and while it's not as good as some of these things, it gets me some HD for a good price. Still though, I'd love to watch some movies or play some games on one of those.]]>Jan 12th 2007 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/I wish there were some pictures of the computer itself.]]>Jan 12th 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 12th 2007 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Jan 13th 2007 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Quit your bitching and read some other tech news webs if you don't like the way they report. How much do you pay to read the information that these guys work their asses off to provide?? EXACTLY.

To the Engadget staff: Thanks for providing such an informative and enjoyable service.]]>Jan 13th 2007 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/
For instance, if Apple had released the MYLO, they'd be flying out of the shops at twice the price. Instead, few even know it exists let alone want one - yet it is a terrific product (I hope the people who designed it are given the PSP2 job).

But Apple don't invent new products (though they like you to think they do - computer mouse, Jobs? - and many oblige without question). Instead they introduce things like the Apple Phone that has no new technologies and want to charge you nearly as much as a PS3 - which most people are complaining is too expensive. Consistency, people!]]>Jan 13th 2007 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/
You miss the point completely. We like the service Engadget provides but get annoyed when it becomes clearer that there is some bias towards some companies and against others (cf reporting on Apple and Sony). Can't you understand that point? You don't have to agree, but you should learn to recognise the opinions of others.]]>Jan 13th 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/sony-booth-tour/Sony Grand WEGA SXRD KDS-R50XBR1 50 in Rear-Projection LCoS TV ... $450
