I have never seen a TV that has only HDMI inputs. Nobody absolutely needs an HDMI cable.

Meaningless - no one absolutely needs a TV either. If you have coughed up for an HD tv, and a blu-ray movie, you don't want to waste the experience on an inferior connection.

I'd have been out of luck period without my receipt, which I don't hold against them per se, but still I would have been out of luck. With the receipt, I am 99% certain I'd still be out of luck without the original box. They probably would have sent my camera out for repair or told me to do so personally. I would not have walked out of the store with a new replacement camera.

About 10 years ago a buddy of mine got a camera from BB, with a horrid $70 service warranty as well. A couple months after use, the lens stopped zooming (motor seemed jammed) so he went in to best buy to get it replaced. BB told him that the warranty didn't cover the camera for cases where the camera is accidentally damaged. He told them he didn't damage the camera, and that it just stopped working. BB said that it didn't matter, there was any physical problem with the camera, it was classified as accidental damage, which is not covered under the warranty.
He then shelled out another wad of cash for BB to repair the camera. A week later, best buy informed him that they were unable to fix the camera in house and needed to sent it to the manufacturer for repair, and that he would get it back directly from the manufacturer. After about two months, he got a call from the manufacturer saying that they would repair the camera for him, and would have been under warranty all along, except someone already opened the camera up and voided the warranty. He explained that it was BB that did that, and the manufacturer said sorry, but BB technicians are not certified so the warranty is void.
Being that my friend throws out cash much more than I do, he just gave up and bought a new camera. I would have fought it out to the end on that bull :censored:

And you absolutely need that cable today instead of waiting 3-4 days for it to arrive in the mail? It is worth paying $50 for a $4 item to get it now? You can't watch with the pack-in cables for a couple days?
Those people deserve to get raped over price. They chose it willingly.

I have to tell of a good story at Best Buy. We bought an HP printer/scanner for the scanner part only. It sucked. It had small white dots on every scan. We had it about a month before we really used it and figured this out. I only tested it with a small picture and didn't really notice at first. We brought it back without the box or anything with it but we did have the receipt. They gave us full credit toward a different Epson printer/scanner. I was shocked as hell. The wife was the one that said she wanted to at least try. I would have eaten the cost myself because I figured it was a lost cause.
That being said, I just had a keyless entry/remote car start installed this weekend. They couldn't find the wires for the security system so they just installed it without hooking it up to that. Now I have to either carry both remotes (factory and the new one) in order to use the security or I go without it. So now I have to go back and have them find the wires and hook it up right. :P
