slowmo said: The PS2 failure rate was high enough that a class action lawsuit was considered, I think that proves they had a case to be answered for but chose to shaft their customers over by not offering any free repairs or extended warranty. The problem the 360 had is it was a lot more expensive product when it failed than most PS2's were. You say its not anything to be praised that they offer the warranty, well it is because they're not obliged in ANY country in the world to provide a product that lasts longer than 1 year. I think you've misunderstood the difference between a retailers obligation and a manufacturers obligations, but thats easy done when people only learn a small portion regarding such matters of law. You do not have a 5 year warranty on all electronics at all but I really cannot be bothered to correct your inaccuracy in that instance, assuming you're based in the EU then you need to understand first what a warranty is and second how no repair is guaranteed without legal action and even then can be dismissed. Please don't tell me you've been learning from the MikeB school of EU law, which is complete bullshit I'll add. |
First of all, you should check which countries that are part of the EU and which ones that are not. Because we're not a part of the EU.
And no we don't have 5 year warranty, we have 5 year "warranty", in search for a better word. So yes, we can get a free repair/replacement up until 5 years after purchase if the product is victim to a manufacturing error, for instance RROD, Disc Scratching error or whatever. The you file a complaint, and in most cases, the consumer wins. It must be shitty living in a country where companies are allowed to make shoddy products and piss on their customers like that without consequences.
Oh, and all my freinds' PS2s got replaced for free by Sony. Because they had to, by law.
