best buy

doowkni · 05-18-2008, 04:06 AM

i got a quick question, i have a broken zune 30 that i got from best buy and i have a 2 year warranty do any of u think i can go back up there and exchange it in for a zune 80 and jus pay the difference?

jediMattX · 05-18-2008, 05:29 AM

I wouldent see why not. Especially because they don't sell Zune 30's anymore. I woulden't offer at first though. Just say "It broke, I want a new one" They might just give it for free. Which would be nice.

They didnt at least not at the couple dozen best buys in my area. They have cases full of them.

They actually should have zune 30s in stock still, but just on clearance now, but i'm pretty sure that bestbuy will let you get a zune 80 anyways for paying about $50-$100 more.

Darth Camel · 05-18-2008, 07:05 AM

Sure. They'd probably do that. And it doesn't hurt to ask.

Tamiro1992 · 05-18-2008, 07:10 AM

wow, your chances of getting a zune 80 for that zune 30 are pretty high. fingures crossed for you bro. if they give you a zune 30, ask id you can get a zune 80 and pay the diference. but they might just be nice and give you a zune 80.

Robb4248 · 05-18-2008, 07:18 AM

They wouldn't even let me claim my warranty...

Gregory · 05-18-2008, 07:25 AM

Why would you need to pay more? The Zune 30 was originally $250.

old version and its $200 now, i believe they go for the price that is right now.. lol so maybe adding $10-$50 depends on your manager at Best Buy mainly. give it a shot.. they might just give you an 80.. or make you pay a few bucks more

well, if you paid 250 for a device, I thought that's the amount you recieve back for it(at least that's how it works at Costco) I don't think it matters what version it is. But w/e, just give it a shot and even if you have to pay an extra 10-50 like RTH said, it's worth it.

cimdragon · 05-18-2008, 09:46 AM

I m sure that you could. Where i live my friend got a 30GB Zune and like 2 days later it died on him so he took it back and got a 80GB but he didn't have to pay anything. Oh Well got a free 80GB Zune.

charmed61 · 05-18-2008, 09:49 AM

yea i think you can change the device it just have to be around the price... my friend unfortunally... broke his zune 30 and exchanged into the worthless iPod nano =/

Robb4248 · 05-18-2008, 10:20 AM

The insurance covers the price you pay for the device.

SpiderJames · 05-18-2008, 10:46 AM

the way the best buy warranty works actually is like this.

You call a number on the warranty slip you have, you tell them your Zune is busted

They will send you a sticker, in which you put on your Zune box and hen ship it to there repiar headquarters.

If all goes well, in about 2 weeks you will receive a gift card in the mail with approximately how much you spent on your Zune which can be used for a new one.

Ive tried going to the store, theyll tell you you have to ship it into there repair headquarters, its a pain too, can take up to 4 months to get the giftcard.

Man, that's a pretty crappy warrenty system. At costco you just walk in, say it's broken, and they refund you...

Hat Trick · 05-18-2008, 01:20 PM

It depends on whether it is a replacement plan or repair plan. I think my zune 4 is on a replacement plan...meaning I can bring it in for a replacement if it breaks. It's a pretty good deal. It is a pain to deal with the repair centers, but at least you are getting something. Considering the device could be far out of the manufacturer's warranty, if you didn't get the plan, you'd probably be SOL.

fearstyle · 05-22-2008, 07:06 AM

its bestbuy you can talk them into taking back a can of beans as your zune 30 to give you a laptop... srsly

jediMattX · 05-22-2008, 07:11 AM

Wow. Then I have an odd best buy. They dont have Zune 30's anymore. Only the 4/8/80.

Although I rarely check, so maybe they have more by now. I like my Zune 30, so I never look at replacements.
