Extended Warrenty???

rgd: sorry to cause more precipitation on your parade, but the warranty is likely bogus unless the warrantor is SONY, not your retailer. -cfb

these are like the lottery: save yourself some time by throwing your money out of the car window as you drive by the gas station...

Kelly - the Sony Store is a sanctioned retail outlet here in Canada and is operated by Sony Canada. Only Sony gear save some PSB speakers for HT applications...

rgd: for your sake, i truly hope you are correct in your assumption. sorry, but i'm not a licensed canadian barrister. hard enuf just keeping up with my usa legal specialties. -cfb

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.
