Greetings Learned Forum:
I have always been one to shy away from the extended warranty full court press one experiences at the Big Box Stores. But when I bought my 5g iPod Video, the pitch was almost....tempting. Tales of battery woe were spun, with the bottom line being that the 3 yr extended warranty (which completely covered the cost of new battery and labor) was significantly cheaper than the cost of having battery replaced by Apple out-of-pocket. Is there a concensus on this issue here? What are your thoughts? As always, your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
