I don't think thats a fair statement at all - if so, everything every company sold would come with a lifetime warranty. Warranty work and service/support work costs companies money and a decision is made as to how long to warranty a given product based on what is standard in the industry and what makes sense for a company offering it. You can search online how much it costs every time a customer calls in about a product (it's a lot) as there's plenty of data on that out there. There is a tradeoff on what is reasonable and the cost of support you build into the initial cost of the machine. You could have an unlimited warranty on something but you'd pay a ton more upfront. I certainly do think a simplification of terms and a clearer statement both verbally and in writing by melco is in order - as this subject seems to pop up every 4-6 months here. I just spent ten minutes tooling around the melcousa.com site trying to find warranty information on the Amaya with no luck. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
