Let's see if Panasonic are willing to put their money where their mouth is with a lifetime warranty. Come to think of it, why don't manufacturers have enough confidence in their product to offer a lifetime warranty on all their products?
Products have a limited warranty because there is a limited time in which an issue is a manufacturers defect and normal wear/breakdown. Secondly (and more importantly), Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, etc. are all businesses and are in business to make money. Eating a repair bill in the first year or two is something they do but eventually the warranty runs out and the product is ultimately YOUR product and YOUR responsibility to upkeep/maintain.
