Almost two years ago I bought a Go Pro 720 from Best Buy and spent $30 on a 2 year warranty. After hours and hours of video taking, a handful of crashes (including a rolling tumble by falling off the bike itself), bestbuy has given me all my money back via store credit, including HST, for the camera.
Sure, it was a $30 rental for two years, but since they take things back with no questions asked, even if it is 100% working condition, I fully promote spending the money for the Product Replacement Plan (PRP) on whatever gizmos you buy. Unfortunately, it is not available on all items. I used this when I bought guitar hero bundle and added a $25 PRP.... 2 years later, guitars totally unusable and useless, I get the product value + hst back... come to think of it, I put that towards my Go Pro lol.
HOWEVER..... do not mistake this with the Product Service Plan (PSP) which will allow for up to three repair attempts (for the same defect/error) provided there is no water damage on a device. If it is not fully repaired after 3 attempts you will be issued a replacement. If the replacement is not available, you will be given your value back via store credit. So they'll string you along as long as they can until you make enough noise (from my own experience) and be a big enough pain in the *** to Best Buy AND the third party service station that they do issue your credit refund.
PRP = Good
PSP = Bad
