POLL: Voided Warranty

How scared are you to void your device's warranty?

Spector · Jun 19, 2008 3:11 AM

On computers, the warranties are useless considering that the tech support is just more IT goons trying to convince you to upgrade to a newer "less defective" product rather than helping you to fix your computer.

I never use Warranty

I couldn't have cared less about voiding my PS2 warranty by modding it with a chip to play Japanese PS2 games.

CynderRules · Jun 19, 2008 3:25 AM

dude, my mom has been able to use her computer for 8 YEARS and all she had to do was
- get more memory
- replace the internal modem (cuz the old one was fried)
- replace the monitor (the old one was fried)

We just now switched the computers so that mine, the newer one, has the internet connection and is in the living room. Because we needed a new printer and we couldn't find one fore her operating system.

But screw warranties. My tech ed teacher helps me understand anything that I already don't about computers. Who needs some dell support center. The only time I called them is when I forgot my password for my computer. XD

Buy the games in packaging, please. wink

CynderRules · Jun 19, 2008 3:29 AM

now see, PS2's and Wii's, I don't know anything bout them. So I think I'll keep their warranties in check. XD

A lot of Japanese games don't require much, if any, understanding of Japanese. For example, the Japanese versions of Dance Dance Revolution for the PS and PS2 have very little Japanese in it. If you played DDR at an arcade, chances are that it's a Japanese arcade cabinet, and I bet you'd have no trouble understanding that!

Japanese games you should avoid are ones with a lot of story and text, like RPGs.

Warranty was over YEARS ago.

Seconded.

I couldn't care less about the warranty.

A Guy · Jun 19, 2008 12:23 PM

I say screw warranties. I can often solve a problem by myself by opening up my computer.

CynderRules · Jun 19, 2008 12:34 PM

Same with me. I can install my own RAM/Modem/etc. My mom knows a lot about computers as well. Well, how they're set up inside. XD I basically have to connect the mouse and monitor and all for her.
