I'm not sure that we have been thinking of the same thing. When shops were trying to sell what they called extended warranty (although that might have something to do with the fact that I'm in the Netherlands and the employees were speaking to me in English because I don't speak dutch), they were selling what according to Wikipedia sounds more like extended service plans.
Basically they were telling me that for a monthly fee, I can feel secure in the knowledge that no matter what happens to the device it will be replaced, when I bought a new phone; and fixed, or if that doesn't work, replaced, when I got my tablet, no questions asked.
In both cases I was told that the warranty covers damage that came from liquids, dropping the device, and, the case of the tablet ,poking the it hard enough to break the screen. This sounds like it was specifically designed for people who are careless.
And bhartman36, RAM chips can go bad?
