isn't there a tv program that can go investigate all this? i mean if they have lost alot of the customers products someone should do something about it.
theyre probably fixing it and then swiping them =/

My NetMD didn't get lost, but the question is: did it get fixed?

After say 7 months using it (it has 1 year fixing warranty). Its stopped to burn and started doing weird things while playing. I took it to a Sony Center and they told me I would have it repaired in at most 1 month. Well after waiting over 4 months for my MD (I even bought a cheap mp3 Discman in the meanwhile I borrowed a friend of mine afterwards, one needs music) I recovered my MD, the only thing that would make my MD recognisable was a little noticeable scratch on the back side. The MD seemed to burn and play properly, but:

• The case didn't close and lock properly.
  
• I had a hard time trying to eject a MD, it kept sticked somewhere.
  
• There where many problems to connect it to the dock station. Sometimes it connected the PC, sometimes it conencted the power supply, hardly ever both at once.
  
• The hold slider came in HOLD position, but it still worked... shit, it was loose, didn't work, great news for portable devices

As i was really upset with the technical service, I really meant I would carry on with that piece of crap as long as it played my music properly.
But some months later while burning it just kept getting stuck in certain songs without being able to stop it. Undocking, playing around with buttond, trying to eject didn't work. I could only take the battery off to stop it from doing whatever it did. Obviously, after doing that (hey pals, don't try it at home) the MD became unuseable, since the TOC (Table Of Contents) could not be written (it's written when burning is finished).
Warranty was over. Repair warranty was also over. NetMD is in the hapy world of garbage land.

I just bought an iPod at a local Fnac, hope I'm luckier this time.

Just to update you all on the situation. I called Future Shop today, and unfortunatly they know where it is and the store that is repairing it is waiting on a part since the 28th of September, why the girl didn't just tell me that is beyond me but whatever right .

So no iPod for me

Aww well, the chance that you would've got an ipod were very minimal anyway, bet you're happy that you're getting it back though.

Not really, because they don't have an ETA on when I will get it back.

Then technically, the minidisc player still might not get back to you, so i'd start thinking hard about the ipod idea first!

my dad wont let me buy anything expensive from futureshop unless i really need to. Futureshop employees are comissioned as far as i know. bestbuy are not. and i even heard a story that employees get a bonus depending on how many extended warrentees they sell

Customer      "Yes I'd like the estended warranty please."
FS Employee "Well we have a buy 2 get one free offer right now."
Customer      " Wha? Why would I need 3 warranties?"
FS Employee "Well if one extended warranty is good, just think of 3!"
Customer      "..."

... Well I wouldn't be surprised if they did get a bonus for selling warranties - you know they offered me an extended warranty on an Ethernet cable I bought o.O

Futur Shop sucks, cuz i went to go buy a video game and they didn't speak english so i went EB games in carefour laval instead

hahaha... carefour Laval you say? we really must live very close from each other then . And you know, we live in Quebec, not Ontario... you can't expect every to speak english here
