My [vicarious] experience with the warranties my mother in law insists
on buying from BestBuy is that when you get a lemon they refuse to
replace it. Instead they come out and replace the bulb in your
projector every few months until the warranty expires. And with
computers they tell you it is your fault and not covered.

My experience at Fry's was no better. I bought a (very expensive top-of-the-line) Bluetooth headset and it died early. So I bought a replacement and opted for the extended warranty. Of course it died too (plastic broke at the swivel). So I went to Fry's and had them refuse the warranty. "Your fault, not covered" they said. So I bought another (other brand, cheaper price). The f'ing clerk who refused my warranty wanted to sell me, no, demanded to sell me an extended warranty on the new one. After being ushered out of Fry's, I bought it somewhere else.<BR>
