^^ agreed, however again it must be stated - Sony has given the failure rate (something competitors do not) and also gave a pretty detailed response due to the BBC Watchdog program. They have factual statements there. 0.5% is well within standard. So in other words, they are saying it is not a design fault.
You cannot guarantee 100% reliability. 99.5% is pretty damn good. This is why we have the warranty system in the first place and for most electronic products, it is 1 year. These processes have been around for a long time.
