Well that reminds me of a funny story I heard actually. You may already know, but for the benefit of those who don't...
Ever annoyed how PS2 owner's go on about how well their console is selling worldwide, and Japan? Well there's a partial reason for that. When it was initially released, in Japan, they virtually all had faults and needed to be replaced. But these Japanese people had no warranty and couldn't get a replacement, forcing them to buy a new one and effectively doubling Japanese PS2 sales!
