Extended Warranty Purchase

not tryig to sell you anything. but with all extended warrenties, find out what they will do for you after the tv breaks. some warrenties are just extensions of manufactorer warrenties while others cover much more.

i can only vouch for best buy. $399 for 4 years. it is an IN home service, which covers anything due to wear and tear including wear and tear on the remote (if you have kids). the lamp in the tv costs $250 from sony, not including labor charges, or anything else that might break. our 4 year plan covers up to 3 of those light bulbs within 4 years. if we dont have the part to fix it, or if it costs too much money to fix it, we'll give you a little piece of paper, tel you to go back into the store, and pick up a new tv of YOUR choice. you will get the original amount you paid for it, plus tax in store credit for you to use towards 1 tv. microdisplays are the only thing i'd buy an extended warrenty on...if it actually covers stuff that are useful.

shipping on these tv's on "online retailers" are usually around $250.

retail on this tv is $4500. we sell this tv almost once every few days by marking it down to $4k. and we'll do other things to help customers out. we can haggle if you ask nicely. this is a high markup tv.

If you'd scan threads of a couple months back in this same forum, you'd see your same basic question addressed more than once with vigorous amount of commentary posted to it.
