Well Europe has such an intrusive nanny government I wouldn't be surprised if they force the company to give refunds. Heck, they could probably provide Sony and retailers with CCTV footage of you leaving the store or receiving your console at your doorstep as proof of your ownership. ]]>Apr 9th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/ps3-owners-eligible-for-cash-refund-after-other-os-removal/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/09/ps3-owners-eligible-for-cash-refund-after-other-os-removal/

If you’re in the UK the relevant law is S13 and 14 of the Sale of Goods Act. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1979/cukpga_19790054_en_2#pt2-pb5-l1g13

This is where the directive above has been implemented into UK law. If you’re in another European country there should be a similar provision in your consumer protection laws.

Despite what you read in the papers the EU does not make laws so you can't enforce the directive directly you just need to find the piece of law your country has made to implement the directive. Try quoting it and take along the Amazon decision and you might get lucky. If not keep asking to speak to the manager/head office etc.
