I disagree.
a) After your warranty expires - you are no longer owed anything by the manufacturer (even if it's a bloody Benz and not a $200 mobo). Anything you get is Kindness - which has a price on the manufacturer's side (which I think is one of the reasons BFG is no longer with us).
b) When a shop sold me a 6800GT with 12 pixel pipelines (if anyone remembers that small fiasco) , I involved MSI since the shop would not pony up the advertised model.
MSI had a rep call me and set up a meet to replace the card, ignoring the shop's BS.
I have since bought two more MSI products (GPUs), Loved 'em both.
One thing to note is that both products died 6-12 months after the warranty expired...
which is something I have not experienced with Sapphire, Asus, Gigabyte or even Hercules products of similar caliber.
