I am aware of that. The fact of the matter is that I don't mind too much (small towns are great for lowering your expectations when it comes to quality of service...). I can afford amazon prime annually and even just not having to care about making a 20 buck order for free shipping (let alone the video on demand stuff) is worth it to me.

I just recall doing a quick chat to ask where my video game was when it was a day after release and getting offered a full refund and blah blah blah. And now? It can be three or four days outside the window and I just get a "it'll be there eventually"

And I know it is definitely regional as I have had a few friends back where I used to live who still got the borderline obsessive offers of refunds.
