So yeah… I used my Product Replacement Plan ($59.99) and got me a new Xbox 360.
AND it works so far!
Everyone always has mixed feelings about Product Service / Replacement Plans from Best Buy…
I have some guidelines:
- Buy them for items that are replaceable and over $200… aka iPod… Xbox 360.
- Buy a service plan for TVs… $200 is not bad for them to come to your house and fix ANYTHING wrong with your TV.
- Don’t buy them for software or games, how often do you break/abuse or need replacement for that kind of thing?
People always wonder, why do this instead of normal Manufacturer warranties? Well… the manufacturer warranties don’t last as long… and it’s a LOT faster to get the replacement and/or parts from Best Buy. It might be purely a conveinience factor… and that the money might not be worth it… but if you’re impatient like me, $59.99 to get a “no questions asked” exchange for brand new Xbox by walking in, it’s good enough for me!
