As a friend pointed out to me not to long ago, _ALL_ cyberware is already
brandname! That's why we try to find a good street doc, so we can put it
in _WITHOUT_ having the implant registered! No registration, no warranty!
No insurance! Most of this stuff is not legal for private ownership,
remember? Now a good decker could probably create a false ID for you to
get some of these nifty features, but would you really want to walk in to
a corp to try and collect on them after a major run? Even if they don't
catch on to the scam while they have you under the knife, I've never been
a fan of leaving that kind of paper trail! Not even the best decker is
always going to catch everything.

(Even though I won't be using it in my game, I must admit that the data lists
about brandname cyberware have been well written, and very thorough. Maybe
you guys can give some lessons to FASA? :)
