Yes, I think it's not right to kill the 3 year warranty that we paid for. What if they sold computers that lasted two months and died? We'd end up buying warranties with each sub-par machine they sold - which would cost us thousands. However, I don't think that Best Buy is really trying to sell us machines that will fail. As for the $600 towards a new one, we really did get a computer that's a lot better. While we do felt we paid for it in time and cost of the new warranty we got an equivalent of a $1300-1400 laptop 1.5 years ago. I think we are okay with that overall, but it's not a gain. And it shouldn't be a gain. I'm just looking to be made even here. I think my opinion is split. Yes, I think it’s not right to kill the 3 year warranty that we paid for.

In your post, you don't seem that upset, but it's almost as if Best Buy just strung you along and then you had to purchase a new warranty anyhow. That's not right. And then they only gave you $600.00 towards a new one. What's the point of the warranty then?? Like you said, you feel like you paid for it in time and cost of the new warranty. What a ripoff.
