90 Day warranty??? - 21/08/2003 21:23
Ok, I don't know the warranty length on other players but 90 days to me is far too short for such an expensive product.
1 year is my minimum for something like this..
What do you guys think?

I think 90 days is pretty standard and usually manufacture warranty's are mostly useless anyway.

It may be a standard, but that just sucks. Especially for a reasonably expensive, relatively delicate product like the Karma. 3 MONTHS is no time at all. isn't the hard drive itself warrantied for longer than that?!

"Would you like to purchase an extended warranty with your product today? It extends the manufacturer's warranty by a full three years..."

only 20 bucks for my new monitor
This is why the UK is great (for once!). 1 year guarantee as standard. If it breaks you take it back to the shop where you got it. Its soon to be extended to 2 years. Now i think about it, my gameboy is 3 years.

I agree. I'm going to stay away from the Karma for a while until the price comes down to a level that I'd be comfortable risking on only a 90 day warranty. It'll also give them time to work out the inevitable bugs in the first few batches.

does anyone know which US retailer offers the best/hassle free/ no questions asked extended warranty ?

Never dealt with extended warranties at retailers, but I do try to buy all of my electronics with my American Express Blue card, which doubles the manufacturer's warranty up to 1 additional year. Of course I would prefer that the original warranty was 1 year as well, to get a full 2 years of protection.
I'd be willing to bet that D&M's other products (home theater receivers, etc.) have at least 1yr warranties in the U.S. If that's the case, I wonder why they're only offering 90 days on this particular product...

I have a Denon Receiver and it came with a two year warranty.

I plan to do the same thing with my blue card. Is there some paperwork you have to file to extend the warranty, or only if you want to file a claim on it after it kicks in? Do you know?

Apparently, it's "automatic."
Should be. BTW you get the same double warranty with most (all?) Platinum Visa and Mastercards. A friend of mine just had her iBook die a month out of original warranty and was very happy when I told her that.
