    When I worked in the electronics industry, the cutoff for service parts was five years, except in California where it was seven. Are other industries (like cars) different?

      Looking into this deeper, I’m having trouble finding a law that would apply here. I could find a clear requirement on emissions parts from CARB (which is what I remembered), and a bunch of unreliable sources saying such a law doesn’t exist anywhere. I also found a number stating it only applies during the warranty period, no sources cited.

      My original point still stands, based on the PlayStation 3 “Other OS” class action. It was sold as a feature, and later removed by Sony.
