Amen[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#7)

Amen to that. Most consumer electronics are luxuries that most of us can live without or opt for less bells and whistles. (There are a few exceptions of course). But when they try to sell me a $14.95 3 year extended warranty on a cheap (and I may add, disposable) $59.00 DVD player, it doesn't take an advanced degree in rocket science or a committee deliberating for hours to make a decision. When I purchase such a product, I put it through rigorous use for the first 30 days to make sure everything works. If something, no matter how insignificant, does not work as it should, or doesn't act right, back to the store it goes.
