Don't give in to Ken so easily, House :); they're stupid parents.

Why stupid? Because they didn't strap the damn thing to their arm in the first place!

What do they have to lose? Nothing, but where does it end? If one believes that the TV should be covered under warranty, then it is logical to apply that to every single thing within proximity of the remote, and that's stupid! There's absolutely no difference between someone tossing a remote through a window and being stupid enough to make a warranty claim like someone would if it was a TV.

Okay, so for argument's sake, we'll say that the window has nothing to do with the gaming console; fair enough. Well, what about if someone came on the forum and said that they think that their M80 should be covered under warranty because a remote was thrown into it and damaged it (its part of the whole system-the TV plays the video, and the speakers play the sound). I don't think anyone on the forum would suggest that they take it up with Axiom because they have nothing to lose (in saying so, I think that you are implying that it is even remotely legitimate), but instead we'd think they're pretty stupid to even consider it.

Stupid parents! grin

Peace and love, Ken smile.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
