I’m really glad I paid $40 extra for that two year extended warrenty now. When I was at work, I brought my Microsoft Zune to listen to since I was going to be doing dishes all day(Which I was). Well, I had my grandma pick me up to go out to lunch on my break and I had my Zune in my pocket. I was getting into her car, and I smashed my left side against her car, and put a crack in the screen of my Zune. Well, now the screen is fucked up. So I had to buy another one. I bought an 80 Gig model since I get a discount at CircuitCity.com. Now I’m scared to take my mp3 player to work for fear that I’ll accidentally break it again.

Two things,
1: you didn’t really break it at work.
2: what had the warranty to do with this?

He’s annoyed that he paid for two years warranty which is now useless to him because the thing is broken?

Anyway, sorry you broke it but at least you get a nice shiny new one that’s bigger and better that you wouldn’t have allowed yourself to buy while your old one worked. Should have got an iriver though, those things are nigh unbreakable.

I bought a 2-year extended warrenty, thinking that if I accidentally dropped it or whatever, they would repair it for me. And I’m pissed that the only thing the warrenty covers is manufacturer error. They exclude accidental breakage. Assholes.

Extended warranties are a waste of money. No exceptions.

If the device dies due to manufacture error, chances are good that the manufacturer will issue you a replacement anyhow.

Friends of mine bought a Satellite dish way back when the first little came out, and got the extended warranty. That dish was replaced yearly for 6 or 7 years, beyond the time that where they bought it from still sold them.
