slight update, I called back apple to order the replacement, but it turns out the 269 was a misquote, the 3g replacement is 319, and 352 after tax and shipping. The aftermarket repair facilities are hovering around 200, but I am guessing that is the end of the warenty. Even thought this is the way I will go. As for doing it myself, the glass and digitizer cost 129, so you could save 70 by doing it yourself, but from the videos I saw it looks like the lcd is reallgy glued well to the digitizer, so it is risky, as the lcd is another 99 if you good it up.
as for that protection plan I will look into it.
