Really?
Its so cute how so many people are ranting about a boycott of Sony products because their television didn't last forever. This petition is laughable. I lost interest in posting my issue after someone added their concern about a 12-year old set. Seriously, you're luck to get five years out of electronics, either due to technology forgetting about the set or something as unlikely as a power surge. Pay for the extended warranty, purchase one from the dealer when you bought the TV and you'll have it working like new as long as parts are availbable.
