I just bought one this weekend at Best Buy. It's almost scary how the "non-commisioned" sales people push the warranty on them. As I was heading for the till, this sales guy I was speaking with for about 20 minutes, appeared out of nowhere and was waiting to again sell me on the warranty. You can't tell me they are not getting a cut somewhere from these warranties.

Anyways I refused but this thread is casting some doubt on that decision. I may sign on with Microsoft's Service contract. $650.00 is enough to justify some kind of coverage on a new release console.

EDIT: BTW I'm pretty amazed at the system and it's well worth getting one. I plan to pick up Fight Night Round 3 today - it looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to see what they do with hockey in the Fall.
