Extended Warrantiesssssss

I was wondering has anyone had experience with this company?

Seems like its a good value for someone who just purchased a tv especially. Alot cheaper than BB or CC warranty...

That, and I think the majority of persons that purchase an extended warranty never end up using it.

For instance, I purchased an extended warranty for:

1. My old TV.
2. My old Laptop.
3. My old desk top.
4. My Acura CL.
5. Cell phones
6. All other crap.

The only time I have ever used any was on my CL. And of course cell phones. But it made me feel better about the envestment I made. I just got a Samsung DLP, and I didn't get the extended warranty because it was too much IMO. This is a better deal, I think.

I'm going to look into it a bit more. Especially, since right now, we watch a lot of TV.

Exactly. It was going to be around $400 for me.

Really? are they that much, I've never made a large TV purchase but noticed a few of you saying it was too much. How much are best buy's and circuit city's extended warranties?

circuit city warranty is more expensive from what i understand due to the fact that its prorated, and you can cancel and get whatever period of it u didn't use of it back.

So if u get a 4 yr warranty and have the set replaced under warranty in 2 years, best buy warranty is over with vs. circuit city refunds u 50% of ur warranty money....thats what i've understood at least
