So, according to you, if an item breaks one month after the warranty expires the company should still be responsible. How about two months? Five months? What is the time frame? Sorry but if the warranty is for one year, then on day 366 you and I are shit out of luck. I bought the item fully aware of the warranty, so I'm out of luck. Plain and simple. Can I afford it? No, but that's my bad luck. The manufacturer upheld their part of the warranty deal.
I didn't give you the whole story since the topic was about companies being more responsible when selling a product that is designed to break down shortly after the warranty is over. If you look up 47 in. LCD Samsung TV class action suit you will find out that I am not the only one that got screwed. There were thousands of us.
