It was discontinued a couple years later. The software to download & upload files from/to the disc stopped working past osx snow leopard. The windows sonic stage program was absolute garbage. It sits unused in a drawer. Sony refused to open-source their code and the encryption/decryption can't be reverse engineered because you need cryptographic keys.
Don't trust sony. Their hardware may be superb, but they have abysmal execution when it comes to software.
