My 61" DLP TV was just pwned by a Wii Controller.

Sorry man. I guess there's one good thing about only having a 20" TV in my dorm room to play the Wii on...

I do have an extended warranty, but reading it, it seems to only cover 'defects' and bulbs. Somehow I think they'd laugh me out of town. Doesn't mean I won't try though. I might call American Express also, just in case.
ChadTower:
Is it the manuf warranty or the store warranty? Usually the store warranty (at least the salespeople claim this) will cover anything. I've had guys tell me to intentionally break items right before it expires to get a free replacement (which by then would be an upgrade) out of the warranty.
Have you contacted the girl's parents yet? It may get contentious but I would think they should pay for the repairs.
As for the upgraded straps... eff them. Replace them with something like thin metal braided cord. I hear the upgraded straps are only marginally better and won't last the long term either.

Nah, we are pretty good friends with them and I wouldn't do that. Maybe I would if she had a hissy and threw it at the screen on purpose, but this could have happened to any of us. She just happened to be the one. I heard today that she cried all night because she was so embarassed.
As for the warranty, I will certainly try it, maybe the repair guy will have a heart and just process it. I just need to speak genericly about a cracked screen when I call so they don't allege abuse. I am not hopeful though. When the sales droid at Circuit City sold me the warranty he implied it covered everything, but the wording of the agreement doesn't support that at all.

Isn't it just a sheet of plexi or lexan??

Just take the guts out and turn it into a MAME cabinet. Sorry, trying to do the glass-half-full thing.
