    Default Okay boys, what do you think??

    My warranty on my DLP is going to run out next month. Is it worth it to pay 100 bucks for another year, or should I hope they made a good product and pass on the warranty. How many of you go for the extended warranty??? Thanks.

    I typically don't buy the warranty on stuff, but on something very expensive like that I usually do. Typically, around $1500 is usually where I draw the line.

    I just bought a new washer dryer set for almost 2K, and decided to pay the $169 through the warranty through Best Buy.

    I never buy an extended warranty. IMO waist of money.

    For $100 it is not bad. I would say if you are not good with fixing electronics then get it. I did not have the warranty on my dlp and have had to replace the lamp as well as the color wheel. It is basically like opening a computer and fixing something. If this intimidates you then get the warranty. If not you should be able to fix anything that goes wrong with it.

    I know I wouldn't have a problem changing out the lamps, looks pretty simple. Maybe I will just take my chances, and say hell with it. Thanks for your responses.:p
