Xyzzy...you should speak from personal experience, not like your opinion is gospel. Sometimes those extended warranties do work out. The tv i used to have the mitsu wd-73727 (73" dlp) went for something like 5500 when it was new, a service plan @ best buy was something like 350 or 400...when i was looking at the price of replacing the lamp for the tv, 300 straight from the mftr web site ( i think they later dropped it to 250). I for one didn't mind paying 400 for that warranty considering it covered the 1) replacement of a 250-300 lamp within 4 years, and 2) all the other crap that coulda gone wrong w/ it.
