Extended Warrenty???


I recently puchased a 65" Mitsubishi big sceen TV. The dealer was really pushing the extended warrenty (5 years for about $350). Are these necessary? Helpful? Do you really need to clean/realine these every year? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I can still get in on it before the TV is delivered. Thanks!

I read this report concerning Best Buy extended warranties. The report claims that management puts so much pressure to push them, that sometimes salesmen will find an excuse (ex. 'not in stock') not to sell the item if the customer refues the ext. warranty.

As someone who has worked a lot of retail, it is apparant to me that they are sly rip offs. Getting a store to honor an extended warranty will surely be a challenge, and most likely, you won't even need it. You can't cheat an honest man. Have fun with your TV.
