When they can't even get sales enquiries right you know what they'll be like if you have a problem with something after they've got your money. Run, run fast and don't look back!

Excellent point.

Hmmm, to late, not very bright of us.

But Sony have just proved themselves to be beyond salvation and asked over £700 to repair a 13 month old £400 laptop.

That is what is on my mind.

How do we choose wisely if nobody is accountable or even sane!

Considering they are probably talking to 5-6 other people at the same time (I've used their service before and they said as much). You'd maybe have more luck if you were more patient in waiting for a response.

Not to mention they probably aren't too bothered about assisting people who speak to them like they're something they just scraped off their boot.

But hey, you seem pretty pleased with yourself. Well done.

Eh Anonymous, puzzled by you, this is dystopian situation that meets ordinary people at every turn and I had waited two or three hours before I posted this.

So your point is?
