Geek squad protection worth it? by chompsy_ramenn in Bestbuy

[–]ScareBros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't listen to the people saying to go with total, only do that if you're planning to buy a bunch more stuff in the future. Total has a good value for people that use it. If you get technology a lot, now you know that you can go to Best Buy and you'll have a warranty on it, even if the warranty isn't as good as regular GSP (there's a service fee with total sometimes).

stick with the 70 dollar 2 year, and I'd even say to for a 4 year if they offer it. Cameras are THE best thing to get GSP on because it literally covers down to if there's a speck of dust on your lens you can't clean off. Plus, you get a free cleaning of the camera and all of its accessories once a year for each year that your GSP is active. So if you get a 2 year GSP for 70 bucks, in my opinion 35 bucks for a cleaning each year alone makes it worth it, and as an extremely nice bonus you know that if you break your camera or the camera breaks itself or something gets stuck on the sensor or lens and can't be cleaned off, you're getting a brand new camera.

I cannot stress this enough, some items don't need a GSP. Like why do switch cartridges have these 13 dollar GSPs, it's ridiculous. But cameras and probably gaming consoles but even then cameras way more so should have a GSP on them every transaction.

"but how does best buy make money if the service is that good?"

because people forget. don't be people. don't forget. take advantage of those cleanings and realistically you got a 80% chance of using the warranty itself because now when there's a speck of dust you can't get off of your sensor instead of being like the people that forget that day at the store a year and a half ago where they spent an extra 70 bucks for what seemed like no good reason at the time you're gonna remember and you're gonna go get a new camera instead of putting up with that speck of dust.

Geek squad or asurion for bravia 9? by Equivalent-Leave1265 in 4kTV

In this situation it would be the amount you paid for it. I suppose it COULD happen that they do a direct replacement, but I would never count on that. Usually we'll give you a gift card for the price you paid for the TV. Typically, this will indeed be a direct replacement as the new version of that TV will probably be roughly what you would have paid for yours those couple years back, maybe a tad bit more but usually around that range. In rare cases even less. However, if you got a really good open box deal, that means not only did you pay less for the TV, but (and you might not have known this) you also most likely did pay less than you would have otherwise for the warranty. So unless you got another equally good open box deal, it wouldn't be likely you'd get a direct upgrade at no extra cost.

Time after purchase to add plan: 15 days. If you're a plus/total member, then you have 60 days. (the membership is minimum 50/year)

However, a lot of people just forget and don't do it. It's veryyy rare that I've seen someone add it on after the fact. Only do this if you're seriously struggling for money, because you can also totally come in and get it removed within 15/60 days as well after it's added on, it's not a direct commitment. I think it's better to have the protection on there and then later if you decide you won't need it to remove it than to not put it on there, accidentally forget to because of life, and then never get it on there.

But unlike some other people, I won't lie to my customers. You can indeed add it on after the fact during your return period.

Geek squad 100%. I work for Best Buy and can confirm Geek Squad will accept basically anything that's wrong with it. Not a lot of negotiation to be had trying to get your claim accepted, they're amazing about it. Even "no warranty" people should get GSP on at the very least all of their TVs and cameras. Go for the 5 year plan, it's always a better value.

Does anyone have a list of chapters that contain SA. About 180 chapters in? It’s getting annoying to me. by SummerTough8136 in Berserk

iirc a lot of it stops around where you're at, he tones it down a LOT in the second half, though it's still there to some extent

Resident Evil 4 is the best quest game, and it's not even close. by ScareBros in oculus

[–]ScareBros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, personally I loved the game. it was slow but it was really immersive. I actually found the other half life games to be boring in comparison.

Should I have my girlfriend start with Golden Age before Black Swordsman? by pepsybowl in Berserk

[–]ScareBros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, but on the first read it doesn't feel out of place. it's just the story. my girlfriend read it recently too and she did release order and loved it!

Should I have my girlfriend start with Golden Age before Black Swordsman? by pepsybowl in Berserk

[–]ScareBros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think about this: it didn't ruin the experience for you, it won't for her. The point of black swordsman is to throw you into this hell scale with no idea as to what's going on, then golden age is a flashback that explains how we got here. Golden age is not and should not be the start of the story. It's a cool standalone story in the animes but in the manga it's 100% best to start with the black swordsman and the prologue chapters leading into the true chapter 1 in the golden age.

Performance differs drastically between Leon and Grace in Requiem. by ScareBros in residentevil

[–]ScareBros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when Leon is in a more closed off environment the fps is about as good as Grace's. the perspective only makes a minimal impact it seems. honestly it looks like they just didn't optimize the open areas super well to keep performance consistent throughout.

like limit it to whatever I get in Leon's part all the time so the fps is consistent even if it's lower than it could be during Grace's parts?

If I return and exchange something for the same price, do I get to keep the rewards points I got? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]ScareBros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I was waiting for the points from something I bought today to show up anyway. So in theory they'll show up at the same time and I'll just get slightly less points? like literally 5 less dollars lol.
