Hi everyone,
I just got back from Best Buy and purchased my Xbox 360, so I'm in a bit of a moment. I'm very much ready to open it and get started, but I'm holding off a little bit so I can hang on to my happy feeling just a little bit longer.
Anyway... I haven't decided on the warranty yet from Best Buy and was just curious if any has it and recommends it or not. I think it would be nice to have to avoid having to ship it back and forth all the time, but I'm not sure if it is as good as it seems. I know Microsoft extended the warranty for 3 years, but to have 2 years where everything is covered and I can just take it in store and get it replaced immediately (and it be new) sounds nice. However, I'm not sure if it is really worth the $80 price tag. So my two questions are:
1. Does anyone have or have had the warranty and if so, do you recommend it? Is it really as easy as I read, you just take it in and they let you exchange it for another one?
2. I read some reviews where people said if Best Buy replaced the Xbox, you had to buy the warranty again on the new one, is that correct? I asked the cashier today and she claims you only have to buy it on the one and it will transfer over, but since I read someone having to buy it again I was just curious if this was the case.
My other question is in regards to buying something from Buy.com or Newegg.com I want to get the game, Kameo: Elements of Power, but it seems like it is getting harder to find now, so I want to get it before you can't find it anymore. Both stores have the game for $10 once you figure shipping in, but I was just curious if anyone has recommendations on which one to buy from. I've never purchased from Newegg, but hear good things, I've purchased from Buy.com when they were advertising a rebate on a memory card, the company went out of business and Buy.com told everyone that purchased the card they would get a refund or credit for the purchase and most people never got it. I've purchased from them since and not had a problem, but was curious if one was better than the other. The main thing I'm concerned about is that Buy.com says the item it shipped and sold by The Game Rush, which I'm assuming is like Amazons marketplace, so I'm kind of leaning towards Newegg.
Thanks so much and sorry for all the questions!
