ok if pcs was a bad choice then what about lcd tvs? according to this( go to page 1) 3% is a very acceptable failure rate with companies aiming for 5%.
they seem to be rather angry about a sony model though

why do you spend your life sticking up for things you have bought 
If you had your way everyone would have a megane coupe a remapped cupra and a 106 gti hybrid and spend all their lives bumming vags and playing x-box live.

steve has a point though, who cares about a 2.7% failure rate. you get it replaced free.

Yes and had it replaced twice now!
1st replacement was DOA. Waiting a grand total of 72 days to get a working XBox back.

I need to retract my vote as I no longer own one.
I took my seat on the PS3 bandwagon on Saturday
