crikey, 30£ extra for a coat of red paint !
if that had been the case for me i think i would have stuck to black as well.

heh. despite what they say in the sony store, i'm pretty sure there isn't.
i told them they are all alike. they won't believe me though ; they work for sony, so they must be right.

Thanks for keeping us all updated! As long as they replace it/fix it, but that's a damn shame that ur a paying customer who has a pretty expensive piece of equipment that's only 90 days old and they weren't going to cover it under the warranty!?! Give the gentlemen that helped you a big fat hug !

actually,
sony store accepted almost from the beginning to take care of the repair, there was a small moment of hesitation when i said i bought it in the US but they quickly agreed. and when i had telephoned previously i specifically mentioned that and got the reply that if there are no B&H video shops in france, then i should go to sony store for the repair. it's apparently the technical service which doesn't want to accept the repair under warranty, and i'm not sure what is their relationship to sony france (a part of it ? an independent contractor ? i don't know). i do agree though that it would have been pretty outrageous if they had sent me away saying "sorry, we can't help you" only 3 months after i spent 300$ on this thing... especially since, honestly, sony is sony, right ? US or france, in the end it's all the same company, with the same products (most of the time). but the gentleman who is helping me definitely deserves something. too bad i can't give him karma in real life.
at the least i'll give them a lot of good publicity.
