That's a huge assumption. Products do get to market with embedded
flaws that can be fixed with f.w revisions.
Then there's the matter of updates. For example, my daughter and her
husband have a Sony but it does not play AVIs because is is missing a
DivX/XviD codec, which could be installed with a f/w update.
My son bought a Sony DVD burner but it was producing too many
coasters, so I contacted Sony and they told me they did not support
that unit because it was OEM. I contacted LiteOn and they told me that
Sony was responsible. That's when I swore I would never get near
another Sony piece of shit again. I managed to talk the vendor in
exchanging it for a NEC 3540 at no cost.
Sony is a bunch of arrogant assholes.
