That right there would kill the repair incentive for me. I keep my stuff for a long time, so a failure is partly welcome. Your new $300 TV in today's dollars is probably cheaper than my old and feature-poor TV. I'm almost like a small distance time traveler every time I buy something more complicated than a pair of socks.
