It is true, some manufacturers do not authorize web sales and they claim it is a tipoff that the product is not genuine. It is very hard to "police" this activity and there are a lot of unauthorized resellers that will not cover factory warranty, but hey what the hell, I bought tons of electronics over the net and it is a rareity that they are foul in some manner. And if you make sure to get factory sealed boxes just send in the warranty card with an authorized dealer's name, they never check anyway.

Default 100% true.. in fact...

LOTS of the high end brands don't authorize sales on the web, however many UNAUTHORIZED dealers still manage to get their hands on the products and sell them online... hence... the "Grey Market"

You can really get some good deals at some of these places, however buyer beware.... incase somethings goes wrong, you might not get warranty coverage.
