Yoshi, I've heard your stance on extended warranties before, and I still stand by them due to them saving me a ton of money should anything go wrong with a console. I'd rather pay $20 for a two year warranty than $200 for a new system.

I only bought 1 game system extended warranty, for Xbox, since I knew about Best Buy's policy: return system and get back ORIGINAL retail price, no questions asked. For $40, I got to return my Xbox a few weeks ago and got a store credit for $324.74. Worked out great for me, but normally I'd agree with Yoshi...I just knew that inside of 2 years, the price drop was bound to exceed $50. My right trigger getting stuck just sped up my taking advantage of the deal...

That's one Hell of a profit right there.

Awesome !!! DJ wanted to play this game, and we couldnt rent it. I will check it out today

I just wanted to chime in here and say that you're missing out on a great opportunity by not getting Best Buy's replacement plan on your systems... Buy it for $25, your system's covered for 2 years... if something goes wrong, you're covered, and even if nothing goes wrong, you can get back what you PAID for it anywhere within those 2 years... Given price drops over a 2 year period, you'll at least be getting back enough for a new system AND a new game. And you're not even obligated to buy the same system!

My DC died one month out of warranty.

I have to agree on BB's replacement plans. I didn't buy one on my PS2 because I didn't work there at the time and my Xbox because I didn't buy it there, and I could have used it on both already.

I got my Xbox when it was 300... does this mean I'll get 300 bucks back? I'm a little bit confused, either elaborate here for everyone, or send me a PM.

Like I wrote in my post: you'll get the full price you paid, including tax.

[Roufuss]

I didn't realize you posted earlier, Galvatron.

I was also unaware that you could actually return the entire thing. You need the receipt, right? Cause I've got that tucked away with the warranty.

I only thought they just swapped it out, but I'll be damned. What was the matter with your system?

Hey guys;

I was browsing the EB site for cheap games, they have good sales going on.

PS2:
Lord of the Rings - $10
Skygunner - $17
Robotech - $17
Baldur Gate - $20

Xbox:
The Thing - $13 (this game is really good, for any platform - I have it for PC).
Quantum Redshift - $17
NFL2K3 - $20

GameBoy Advance:
Advance Wars and Golden Sun are both $20, which is a decent deal I guess. The rest of the games listed are shit, but this is GBA, so no surprises there.

GameCube:
All of Sega's sports games are $15. These games are very fun, especially with 2 people. NHL 2003 is only $20 too.
Luigi's Mansion is $30, but thats about $27 too much if you ask me.
Blood Omen 2 - $20

PC:
Mostly shit, but Warlords Battlecry 2 is $10 (good RTS), NOLF2 is $20, AvP2 is $20 (very good), BG2 is $20, etc.

There's a lot more, I just listed games which I thought you guys would like. There's seriously a lot on sale, check it out.

Id also like to ask Rich to please shut the fuck up when you dont have anything worthwhile to say. You clog up threads like nobody's business. If I didnt know better I would say this is the Say The Last Word thread. You're seriously worse than Jeremy.

[Rich]

Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?
I may be worse than Jeremy (in your opinion) but that doesn't let you off the hook for being a wannabe OMFG or 88.
