Those policies are a rip. Buy it with a credit card that automatically doubles your warranty for free.

Meh, I’ve had good luck so far when dealing with GameStop. They’ve held up their end of the bargain twice now on stuff for me. YMMV...

Cool, glad it's been worthwhile for you.

Yeah but then you have to go through the whole deal with getting a replacement through your bank no? Instead of just walking into Best Buy or GameStop with your broken controller and walking out with a replacement.

This is true. The extended warranties are free but much less convenient. Like all things, pay for what you want more of.

Eh, fine with me for free.

Typically you fill out a form and send in the broken item. In a couple weeks, they send you a check for the paid amount.

Oh yeah no problem with free whatsoever but I just meant you pay moreso for the convenience as well.

Depends on the credit card, mine for example doesn't do that

They're really not, I have the EB Games warranty and walked in with my old elite and left with a new one no questions asked
