>when was the last time you bought anything substantial without reading a review of it or checking the customer ratings? But reviews don't tend to judge product lifetime that well, because they're usually written within the first month a product comes out. I think the only way you can get reliable information on lifetime is by forcing companies to provide it, and guarantee it. (Or put a big sticker on their product saying "0 years guaranteed") >Depending on the market, those two price points may be in different segments based on (e.g.) disposable income. I feel like I see a lot of reasonable sounding financing in the markets I'm thinking of, but perhaps I'm remembering times before 2008.
