A pat on the back for PC World
Discussion
My computer is 2 months short of 3 years old and it was acting up, good job i took out the extra cover ( 3 years) when i bought it because i have just recieved delivery of a brand new 17" LCD screen to replace the 15" old one that was faulty.
One phone call not to an Indian call centre and it arrived 48 hours later.
Money well spent,Thank you PC World.

A little bit more than a 17" TFT would be my guess.
Hence my question.
I always end up arguing with the numbnutz in PC World who try to sell me this crap. My argument...
"If it breaks within 1 year you will fix it. If it lasts that long then it will probably last a good while longer, if it fails later and is BER, I'll break it for parts, by which time it will be so obsolete that I will be looking at getting a new one anyway"

I usually ask 'em if they think it will break.If they say "yes" then I politely say that I don't want to buy it,if they say "no" then I tell them I don't need the extended warranty thank you very much!

I bet you don't regret posting this at all! As long as you are chuffed, but really, those 'care plans' and 'warranties are really worth feck all'.

Erm, so how much did the extended warranty cost?
Fair point so i`ve just checked and i was wrong, its a 4 years extra, 5 years in total cover plan and it was £265 on a £899 computer.
Piece of mind.
It does what it says on the tin.
If i had`nt had it i would shelling out for something this weekend.
PC World make me 
As a result of their inability to accept "no" as an answer to the question "of course you'll be wanting extended warranty, sir?" without (allegedly) deliberately supplying me with a product that was already broken, they now no longer get my custom, or anyone else I have the opportunity to warn.
Particularly the Colchester branch at Tollgate. Bunch of
who ought to be receiving a turd on the head, not a pat on the back.
