Fucking warranties, how do they work?
I buy Zunes. I love them, great MP3 players, never have any issues except for my own fault.
I bought a 120 gb in November of 2008 from Best Buy with a 2 year return policy. I accidentally dropped it into a pitcher of Crystal Lite a few days ago, tried drying it out with rice and all that good shit but it didn't work so I brought it to BB to get it replaced. Turns out they don't sell/manufacture the 120Gb Zunes anymore and the biggest they sell now is the 32Gb HD Zune which is like the iPod touch's counterpart. So they gave me that one, which is cool, cause it's a nice MP3 player, but I've got upwards of 105gbs of music and I loved having it all right there at my fingertips, not having to pick and choose what I put on it. That's one of the main reasons I paid extra for the 120. Now I'm stuck with nearly a quarter of the storage space I paid for. I want to complain but Idk if I should complain to Best Buy who's warranty I was under or Microsoft.

shit, i bet in the warranty fine print is says something to the effect of "equivalent replacement," and bro you're lucky you're getting anything to be honest. droppin in water, or urine, like my brother did usually isn't covered even under extended warranty. office depot wanted me to buy a $30 warranty on my glass desk but it doesn't cover it if its shattterd.
the sales man wanted to sell me paint, rust and seat protection. while i was waiting for a ocuple hours to get my vehicle reazdy to drive home, i rsearched the "AutoArmor" product line on a forum (at the dealership's computer) and realized it's a waste of money as i had thought.

i used to look through lego magazines and dream about the "hard to find" items cuz they were never at Wal-Mart or Toys 'r Us stores. it's ridiculous to think i sold them to get money for fireworks
![]() i always liked the pirate and police type shit. once the harry potter and star trek/wars niche crap came out i lost interest for the most part, plus that was when i was like 12/13. I wish i could just bust em out right now, seriously, doing them stoned would be great! I remember my friend/neighbor saying to me when he was like 12/13 and i was about 10/11, "Well, its not like we're gonna play with LEGO's when we grow up." I belike WUT, o hAIL nAW!>?lego.com was the first website i ever went to too. OMG, ITNERNET WORLD!!!

its like the best thing for a child to do with someone they love. I think it gets people more creative too.
k'nex just aren't the same :/ sooo..uhh, wutchu gon' do wit the half-ass zune you're left with? you got a copy of the receipt or warranty to read the exact terms? otherwise id just either sell it or use it. I know i hate selecting which music i want on my iPhone. I got like 40gb of itunes and even tho i don't listen to probably 80% of it, i hate going through and selecting each song.

warranties dont work
warranties are like 99% profit for the companies they basically say if somethings wrong with the product we'll fix it, but if you break it we won't do shit but if somethings wrong with the product you can get a refund anyway so warranties are just a big ass scam it was on dateline or the hour or something a few years back

Extended warranties are scams. Don't pay for it, you will never use it and it just inflates the price of the product so that the store / company can get a hefty profit.
The regular warranty is crap too, who's really going to send their expensive gizmo back to whereverthefuck, hope that it gets there and hope that it returns in working condition 8-12 weeks later.
