Please keep in mind that if you did not purchace the extended wty on the dvd player that it is not up to the store that sold you the product to fix it, its up to sony. had you taken the time to look into what a wty covers you would know this. If yo have a problem with things breaking then pay the little extra money and get the extended wty, and you would have just had the dvd player replaced.
Maybe now you will think harder about how long things last in todays age when everything is made by robots that don't care if it works.
Geeze you sound like you have never made a mistake, I have seen lots of adds that turned out to be wrong, or misprinted, the notices are all over the store and on the doors as you enter, next time try looking around and keep in mind that even you are not perfect
you have to prove it, but it could also have just been a mistake.
please keep in mind that 500 does not get you anything in todays day and age. Give you head a shake, if you wanted something that would hold up better then maybe you should have looked at something that was not made or particle board and purchced something a bit more money but better quality.
