Err - I'm not sure how much warranties are in America but here they aren't a huge scam at all. Would you spend $3400 on your new Sony Bravia which only has a 1 year warranty, and not fork out the extra $100 for a 5 year in-home service? Even if it was $150?
Sure, I wouldn't consider a warranty that was any more than $200 - but at a particular retailer which I work at, our warranties are only between $99-159 AUD for 5 year protection on any LCD. Those are the retail prices, negotiation can bring them down much further!
