You should seriously get about 100 photocopies of that and have someone throw them around a Best Buy.
It sounds like you defrauded UPS, not Best Buy.
I would like to point out that I defrauded no one. My shit got stolen, and I got furious. I had planned on returning the same ipod over and over with different hardware failures in hopes of getting a new 60 gig one. UPS's incompetance made it so I didn't have to do anything shady. Although I would have.
I would also like to point out how easy it would be to work this system if you were so inclined.
If I still had my old ipod I'd be taking pictures of the two together and lolering.
I'm in.Quote:

the gforce 3 worked fine but the fan died (although i could still overclock the shit out of it). they couldnt replace either the fan or the card so i made out. then again i DID spend close to $300 back when i originally got it.

I purchased a portable Polaroid DVD player over 2 years ago. I was advised to get the 4 year plan. These things are not built to last.
So a year goes by, and the thing breaks. Won't turn on. I bring it BB and get a new one instantly. Woo!
Another year goes by, and the thing breaks by the motor stopping to work altogether. I go back, and they no longer have that model in. So I get to get a new one, except the new Polaroid one is $70 less than I originally paid. I ask if I can get one that is the same value as the amount I originally paid. They didn't care, so ended up with a Toshiba. The service plan transferred over to the new one.
So almost another year goes by, and the Toshiba starts flaking out. I take it expecting my trade-in, and now I have to send it out. Apparently, Polaroid didn't give a rat's ass and their policy was give them a new one, no questions asked. Toshiba, try and fix then give a new one. So after three repairs, I argue my way out of the fourth repair and get a new one. Sadly, I lost about $80 in value because they had a new Toshiba model in that was cheaper. However, if I didn't argue, they were going to drop a $110 player on my lap, so I took what I could get.
No upsizing this time, because apparently they weren't supposed to let me do it to begin with. However, they had to pricematch the new Toshiba to the old Polaroid so there was no credit left over. Which is fine, because that means when it breaks, I'll take it to a new BB and try to upsize it again for the full value I paid. If I'm successful, my 7" DVD player will become a 9" DVD player.
I felt justified about trying to maximize my value here. The three service repairs did nothing to fix the device. Literally nothing.
Something to consider with a service plan - try and find out if the manufacturer will make you send it out for repair. Concerning portable DVD players, Toshiba will make you send it, but Polaroid and Insignia will give you new ones right then and there.
Please do that, so I can laugh at you.Quote:
