I work in some Best Buys around my home as an independent representative for Epson, so I can attest that most of these service plan stories are true. If you're going to a Best Buy, and do actually need some help with something, you're best bet is to find one of the non-Best Buy employees there and get help from them (if they are available and you can find one). I know personally if there are no customers in the printer aisle I will help people find things and answer some basic questions. These reps are generally less concerned with service plans and accessories. If youre buying a printer, or movie, or cell phone, or some home theatre things (these are the only areas in Best Buy I know that have reps), these reps are required to mention the service plan, but most that I know dont push it too hard, a simple "no" will suffice

Ok, back to reality I go....

Jesus I'm so lame
I'll have to second that. Now I don't have to worry about getting reamed by those damn package deals and "extended warranties."
Add on to that the fact that these games (at least as far as I know) will be $60 instead of $50, and you can bump that up another $150-200.
I agree on waiting for price drops.
I'll bet the porn industry and advertisers will love it though.
