Sure does, but there are cars that have defects as well.

Alfa Romeo, for example. Some of their cars have a tendency to blow the head gasket, making for an expensive repair. It's also possible the head will warp when the gasket goes, and than you're really up crap creak.

And yet, everybody wants one. Just proves that the public at large needs to get their heads out of their asses.

It's the same with everything: a whole lot of crap and relatively few quality products. Problem with games is you can't take them back and you don't get a gaurantee. Luckily they're pushing for just that here in Europe.

hmm... would be nice for games to have a gaurentee...

From a consumers perspective, yes.

But it might either kill the industry because everyone takes back unfinished games, or it might convince the publishers to allow a little more time for development (possibly raising prices).
