whats up with that 6ave.com website. it keeps redirecting me to a porn site..
how can pioneer deny warranty. If you bought it, and its not grey market, it has a warranty card, and thats that. no? i think its illegal to force you to buy it somewhere. its retail boxed.
All manufacturers have a RIGHT to sell thru an authorized dealer network, and a RIGHT to deny warranty on un-authorized sales. PLUS with most manufacturers, dealers that are caught distro-ing to the grey market lose thier authorization. Many moons ago I worked for an IBM dealer, and had to grind off serial numbers from the cases of XT computers that we grey'd. No S/N, no warranty...
They're not FORCING you to buy it ANYWHERE.
I'd rather buy thru an authroized dealer, pay a couple of $$ more, and have someone that can support/warranty my purchase. Case-in-point, I fried a less-than-week-old Z1, and my authorized dealer replaced it ON THE SPOT.
$2,000 installed. Could have shopped it, but I trust the vendors work and ability to STAND BY HIS SALE...
