if you are so offended, why not ask for a refund?
I've got a better idea. How about you pay the 1000 BTC for the bet you lost over blowing your power usage estimates.
How exactly would that address Tehfiend's concerns. Oh that's right, it wouldn't.
Because that's what a normal person does when they are unhappy with a companies performance. It's called "Vote with your wallet." Look it up.
...
BFL products are not priced in BTC, your analogy is irrelevant, you might as well have used the price of oil or gold as a comparison.
Yep, they were priced in USD, USD from 9 months ago.
Ok, USD from 9 months ago... $1299.00 would be worth... wait for it... $1316.99 today. (

So yeah, might potentially be able to convince me that you would have paid $17 more back then than you would today. Oh... but wait... that might not work out so well for you. I can't quite put my finger on why...
