look, i dont have much morals. lets just leave it at that =P
I'd love to leave it at that, but remember, I'm a complainer

You don't have morals, but you have some sense of pride in what you do. You must think that you did the right thing, otherwise you wouldn't have told us all about how you shafted someone else. You deride us for "complaining", yet that's exactly what you are doing bemoaning the fact that a product you purchased has a commonly known about problem that could be easily remedied with a screwdriver.
You DO have morals, otherwise you wouldn't have thought that what Sony did "selling that crap" was wrong, and you wouldn't have felt the need to go to such lengths to replace your machine at the expense of another human being.
You claiming you have no morals and that we should leave it at that is cowardice, plain and simple. You boasted about how you did something immoral and when a few folks put the screws to you (on the internet, no less) you want to turn tail and have it all blow over. I call BS on you. I certainly hope I never have the misfortune of purchasing something from you, as I can clearly see you have no problem screwing over another person as long as you benefit from it.
In case you missed it, I have the same exact problem as your machine did. I also am considering selling it, and was decent enough to note the problem that it DID have, and people are STILL considering purchasing it. Your self-gratifying attitude holds no water with me, and your eagerness to sweep it under the rug only serves to show me my perception of you is spot on.
What's next? You gonna tell us how you sold a wheelchair with a bad bearing in it to a quadriplegic?
