stinks ,, got sony,s page open now <a href="http://www.sony.co.uk" target="_blank">www.sony.co.uk</a> and gone to the UK page , then support.

on the last line (but one) "where do i get a sony product repaired" (enter)

Q: my product is under guarentee.

A: in the unlikly event that a product proves faulty within "ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHACE"

etc etc etc ,,,,(will not cut and paste),

print that out , complete with e-mails etc from sony ,,go to the dealer (retailer) and say "i wan,t it repaired" if he refuses then go (with the paperwork to the local trading standards ,,,they arn,t gonna do sony ,,,but under UK law it,s the retailer that your warrenty is with.

ie: swop it for a new one ,,u get sony to fix that one

we get conned all over the place in "rip off" britain.

PS fugitsu UK will not honour any drives in the uk ,,,u have to go thru a "recognised" retailer ,,,they will not deal with j.public.
