The way I hear it, most European countries have MUCH better warranty policies by law in their countries.

It is, of course, only in the USA that the consumer gets the shaft as much.

Long live corporate profits! The hell with those pesky consumers!

(And before the 'fair and balanced' far right chimes in, ask yourself why these corporations are willing and eager to do business in those countries where they ARE forced to provide better warranty support... If it's good enough for Europe, why isn't it good enough for the lowly US citizen? Oh, that's right... SCREW US! Profit, profit, profit! )
