Just curious why not? My Dad just bought a 50" plasma from FS and bought the 4 yr warranty for $150 extra. (Normally $300 but I've known a salesguy there for years so on top of getting the TV at a great price he gave 50% off the warranty).
The 4yr warranty on plasmas is an in-house full coverage warranty. So, would I rather pay $150 or even $300 up front to have a certified tech come to my house and fix my TV or pack the thing up and figure out how to get it to a repair shop and pay some unknown repair bill?
Sure, on some products the extended warranty is a pure rip off, but I'd rather gamble $150 up front and know I'm covered for the next 4 years.
