That is just a measure of the confidence the seller has in his product. He's he says that there's a 219:450 chance that his product will go bust before the period is over :)

Artful Dodger: So say all the consumer experts. N' our UK regulatory body called "Trading Standards" recon goods should last about 6 years at least. Well, that is what I was told during a telephone convo.

(V): This week my TV (only 3.5 years old) lost the ability to power on.  I didn't opt for any extended warranty; the original warranty expired a couple of years ago.  But the manufacturer--through a subcontractor, I think--is going to make the repair in my home, and free of charge.  A not-so-small miracle!

wetware: I got Microsoft to send a Windows disk free of charge to us. They made it that a certain laptop manufacturer could not issue such for reinstalling Windows if the likes of a virus overrun or hard disk failure. All I had to do was email a copy of the document I got off the manufacturer.

(V): and Amazon just sent me a new "kindle" e-reader for free. I broke mine, stepped on it. They didnt even ask me to send my device back.

diogenysos: did you buy the warranty? if you did that's why you didn't have to send it back. amazon will replace it one time. i love the kindle and i bought the warranty and i'm glad to hear that they replaced it.
