In this forum is a member that has a failure and the repair costs are over 1/2 the new product.
-> About the warranty. If you don't want it, then your choice. Just don't complain if it fails.

Hi,
I would like to know if it is safe to buy a plasma tv (pioneer pdp 5050hd) from one of the online dealers such as beachcamera.com, us1camera.com, or pricemad.com. I talked to Pioneer this morning and they said their warranty will be void if anyone buys Pioneer plasmas from UNAUTHORIZED internet dealers. Buying from an authorized dealer costs more ! Any advice....?
