This is great news! As everyone who comes along and tries it tells me, seeing video's of the Vive on youtube and other sites really doesn't do it justice. It really is an incredible experience.

6 years? Do you really get cover for that long? I thought a EU warranty was like 2 years or something?

It's not quite as simple as that, but yes if you have an item that breaks down in what would be considered an inadequately short period of time for reasons that aren't related to wear and tear (up to 6 years from purchase), there is a legal course of action you can take that would entitle to either free repair or replacement of said product. However, it can be a slightly convoluted and tricky road to go down.
 
I had a playstation 3 years ago from that rainforest place, bought brand new when i went to uni. Stopped reading blu ray discs after 8 months. I went back and forth on the phone to playstation and the rainforest and neither accepted responsibility.

I was advised to go through consumer rights but because the company was registered outside of the uk i would haver to use EU consumer rights. In the end it was taking too long, i would have to send letters to recorded/signed for and wait for replies for weeks.

Sold the ps3 to a mate for £50 in the end.
 
I guess the caveat here is.....

____ During the expected lifespan of your product. ____

Trouble is, these days, nothing seems to be built to last!!

I am sure many companies think of their products as 'throw away', if it fails after anything over 12 months.

The only indication ever given, as far as I can tell, as to how long they anticipate a product to last...is when they willingly stipulate a warranty period of 'said' years, but even then, they often come with numerous exception clauses, :(
 
If my HTC one X is anything to go by it should be ok, five years and the lads had it the last 3 and apart from battery deterioration it's like new. HTC might be expensive but they do make well lasting products from my experience.
 
We are (for the time being) part of the EU, so 2 years mininum warranty; as Ace Modder mentioned, we are also covered up to 6 years under the consumer rights act 2015.
Europa.eu Website said:
Under EU rules you always have the right to a minimum 2-year guarantee at no cost.

This 2-year guarantee is your minimum right. National rules in your country may give you extra protection: however, any deviation from EU rules must always be in the consumer's best interest.

If goods you bought anywhere in the EU turn out to be faulty or do not look or work as advertised, the seller must repair or replace them free of charge or give you a price reduction or a full refund.

As a general rule, you will only be able to ask for a partial or full refund when it is not possible to repair or replace the goods.
