Nice!! I'm ordering mine Friday.

 

i was gonna say "damn, expensive" till i saw the 4. YEAR. WARRANTY. Nice grab

 

Yeah, going for peace of mind in college. Could increase its worth if I decide to sell it in a few years. I know warranty is damn expensive after sale.

 

to be exact, adding a year, $279, adding 2 years, $418.12, and adding Maximum duration (who knows how long that is), a whopping $578.00.

 

Is that also includes the complete cover?

 

that's what it says in his specs, 4 years accidental damage. dunno about the quote i gave, i'm guessing it includes accidental too

 

Yeah i was hesitating on that im going to college next year as well so i got the 1 year and il see how it goes, cuz it was too pricey and i asked the rep if i can renew the warranty at a later time and he said i could so, by the end of the first year il extend it cuz il have money then

 

I wonder if I extend my warranty, will it has the complete cover option as well? Because for now I choose to have only 1 year warranty with the complete cover, because I plan to extend it later or when it just about to expire, so I can save up money to buy/upgrade other stuff.

Do you think that the complete cover option is available?

 

I got a friend in the US to make the purchase; I used a $350 coupon. A rep originally gave $100 off but when my friend called in again some days later, the rep said that the offer expired and that there weren't any deals going on. So in the end I got $0 discount from the rep and unfortunately my friend pulled the trigger without telling me that the offer expired. In the end all I got was $350 off but I wanted at least $100-200 on top of that from the rep like most people in this forum, but oh well. Shouldn't procrastinate. Better go back to preparing for my exam tomorrow... Also forgot to taken off the personalized nameplate ($20) as I have decided to sell the system in 2-3 years.
