And now you know better than to buy systems at launch.

Why are people so afraid of buying something at launch? Even if things break, you can always have them repaired. The warranty is there for a reason!

Is getting your system repaired, more troublesome in the US or something?


I dont live in the US.

There are several annoyances this causes. First you will be without your system for weeks, second theres no garantee the system wont break down again after it is "fixed" and finally the malfunction can be a of the small death type that annoys you for months/years until it finally completely dies (if the thing doesnt completely die, you have a hard time proving the system has problems). At this point your warranty is void and you're gonna have to pay for the repair or buy a new unit.

There is really no advantage to buying systems at launch. Not only those issues but software droughts.
