That's not the way I'd look at it. The customer comes up with the cost of repairs and gets it back when(if) Sony coughs up. I don't mind holding a couple hundred but not a couple thousand and hoping the company doesn't sneak out. If I have to go after the customer for an unpaid warranty claim of $200, I stand a much better chance of getting it, than if it's $2000.
