I just bought an iMac 27" and am trying to decide between Best Buys extended warrenty plan and apple care.
Best Buy: $279.99, 4 Years, Parts&Labor for entire warranty life + 1 time replacement for accidental damage
Apple Care: $169.99: 3 Years Parts&Labor
I had the Apple Care plan for my iMac G5 20" and was very happy with it. The logic board went out twice and a few other little things within the 3 years and they fixed it no problem. Unfortunately, at year 6 it went out for good. So based on my experience, I will get a warranty plan. However, the Best buy deal seems better, as you get another year, not to mention accidental damage.
What are you thoughts? Does anyone have any experience with the Best Buy plan? Do they give you hassles? Apple was great in my experience.
