So I called up to schedule my delivery today and man, do they try to push that extra warranty on you or what?! This lady tried to tell me that the average lifespan of a plasma tv is 3-5 years. I almost busted out laughing when she said this. In my head I'm thinking yeah maybe if you're talking about a dirt cheap model and you run it 24/7 with the brightness levels jacked all the way up.

I was polite and just kept declining, eventually she asked why I didn't want the extra warranty (for $499!) and I said based on the research I've done I don't feel it's necessary.

I wanted to say that I used to work for CompUSA and I know that you're not making much money off the TV itself, it's the warranties that you're cleaning house on.

I still can't get over her telling me that plasmas only last 3-5 years.
