From what I hear, Dell have been quoting 12 weeks for replacement batteries, and you have to send them back now. Sucks tbh. Hopefully Apple will be a little more friendly - good luck.

I've had an email stating 4 to 6 weeks and I get to keep the battery until the new one arrives

It depends which batteries. Some are quoted 20 working days, one particular model is currently 120 working days!

I received a whole bunch of replacements today along with prepaid packages for sending the old ones back.

Think it was a D800. Maybe I've misunderstood or something.

Add onto that the fact that as of yet - no working final production PS3 has been seen working - they are not in production yet - the Cell chip at it's heart has a 10% yield rate.

And my favourite.

They're including a BlueRay drive in every machine - but only the more expensive of the 2 machine specs is going to have the HCDP port needed to output in highdef.

Add to that the other area's where they are no longer making much in the way of dosh and Sony's position is looking very very shakey.

Good.

I've yet to own a piece of sony equipment that hasn't had to be replaced within 6 months.

3 minidisk players
2 tv *including 1 very expensive 32" surround sound job*
Several stereo's

Now...I buy Panasonic, Pioneer, Marantz and Technics and am yet to have a single one break down.

Ah but Sony AND MS have a bank hand deal with the AACS to allow HD content to be played in full, without a HDCP compliant port. This way MS can bring in a HD-DVD player & Sony can use their basic PS3 to play HD as well.

Cool. Did he take the old one away too?

Nice to get rid of the fire hazard, we don't want the orange glow discussed during the Kent meet to happen now, do we?
