yes. not to mention people should have their heads out of their asses far enough to realize that a warranty is a good investment in almost any high-priced product

As of last year when I was a slave for EB, it would cost you roughly $160 to repair a PS2. Faced with that reality most people just went ahead and bought a new one.

that's why you don't go to EB, unless you have a warranty.

my friend told me that his cousin or something didn't have a warranty, so he phoned and complained to Sony and they told him to ship it to this place and he got it back all fixed and only had to pay for S&H

Well, I had one Ps2... and the Disc tray broke... it's still in my room, and still not repaired. I purched a second one (refurbished so it doesn't count as an official sell) and I sold it to my brother. Then I got a third one (this time new) for myself.

But my case is much worse than anything I have ever heard of.

Hell, even with my GCN... I sold it last fall, again to my bro (he lives out of town) then I got a new one for Xmas as a gift.. Just recently I sold that one for store credit so I could get a platnum GCN.

So I have had 3 GCN's to count as official sells, and 2 Ps2's to count as official sells :)
