See what 450 bucks buys today. I found this in the USA on Amazon.

That's 399. How does that compare to your 2007 set?

My Bravia TV 1080/w internet capability, was purchased July 10, 2007 with a $222.00 warranty expiring July 10, 2012. The discounted renewal cost for one year is $246.49 and $450.49 for two years. I am one who is always buying warranties for peace of mind, but this time I am hesitating. I paid a little over $2,000 for the TV in 2007 (excluding the warranty) and have had no regrets....yet.
I have no idea of the cost to have a TV repairman come to the house to fix a problem when there is no warrranty. It is also not out of the question for me to buy a new TV if the repair bill was prohibitve. In addition, I think prices have gone down.
Sure would appreciate some helpful input.
My thanks.....Miki
