sorry you have had bad experiences but if you ever call their 1-800 number they always have been helpful to me. i mean the idiots at fedex broke my babies crib 3 times in shipping instead of me having to deal with fedex about it they just kept sending a new one til i got one in tact then the sent ups to pick all the broken ones up.

when my 35 mm got dropped and smashed to pieces i they sent me a box with prepayed postage then mailed me an idetical one.

no hassle at all they have never cause me any such frustration.

now how could you say no to that?

Quite easily. Also, extended warranties makeup an extremely large share of Best Buys annual profits.

Operating profit margins on extended warranties are reported to be nearly 70% vs. only 10% or so on the products themselves.

So, with just about any other form of "insurance" you need to assess the benefit and weigh it against the "premium". At 70% profit margin, extended warranties are generally a bit rich for me, but others swear by them.

From a consumer persepctive, you're battery'll die every year or so..
$59.99 for a new battery each time
$59.99 X 4 = 239.96

Cleaning's once a year $49.99
$49.99 X 4 = 199.96
239.96
+ 199.96
---------------
439.61

hrm $99.99 or $439.61 let me get back to you on that

True Best Buy makes money on the customer's that are to lazy to bring their products in, Not their fault, and you certainly shouldn't cut yourself short cause some "Big bad corporation" is trying to "take" all your money

on somthing big like this camera I don't mind at all. Especialy since I broke the camera, then bought the warenty.

But say my Xbox or a cd player. It is somtimes a quarter of the cost of the product.

I don't know them very well, but I did buy an S10 from them several years back and got good service, prompt delivery, no shenanigans.
