Thats hilarious, It even looks like a simple wood screw! But hey, I work for an IT data storage company, and we charge $30 for a coin battery you can buy for $2 that goes in 90% of the keyless entry remotes for cars. And people buy them! Because its cheaper than the $90 that the manufacturer charges!

whats even more funny is on the older systems, the manufacturer won’t sell you the battery, you have to pay $2,500 for a whole new card – so $30 is a steal for our customers haha.

And last i heard Zeroes, if the military is being overcharged for an item, and a military accountant discovers the error, he receives a large sum of money equivelent to half of how much they will save. (like the guy who found out they were being charged something like $10,000 for a hammer back in the 80′s)

Why throw away the old one, when you can disassemble it, and sell the parts for a profit?

Heck buy a new one, and “part it out” ^-^

The Screw could be made of Gold and painted black and still be cheaper than $82.

re numb – if it could be used to write in space there would be a danger of the tip of it snapping, causing shorts in the control panels. and dont say the tip wont snap, it is sony dont forget…

Sony is the sh*ttiest company when it comes to support and service. Remember when the 400.00 GPRS phone first came out? Every last one of them was defective,and they sent replacements to all who bought one…problem was, the replacement phone was a piece of crap 70.00 phone, compared to the 400.00 phone!?!?!
Sony sucks.

There’s nothing special about it, stop making excuses.
Price gouging, pure and simple.

Not only could it be specially treated for tenacity, temperature, strength, anti-oxidation, etc. it may also be able to write in space.
