This is a strictly laziness question.. I have a Best Buy 10 minutes from my house and the nearest Microsoft Store is about an hour...WIl pricing and options be the same at both?
For a SP3, Microsoft charges $150 for their 2yr protection plan. I believe BB charges $230-$250 for their 2 year plan. And if you need technical support, all kidding aside, who do you think is better equipped to help?
Yup support is way better at Microsoft. Even their extended warranty is better for geeks, since we don't need best buy to for example setup our devices for us. Microsoft complete also covers accidentals whereas you have to get bestbuy's total protection plan to get accidental coverage I believe.
:.... and you can buy a SP3 at BB or Staples or any legitimate retailer and then go to Microsoft and purchase Microsoft Complete. Even the people at the local El Paso BB acknowledged that when they asked if I wanted to purchase their warranty and I declined a d said I would purchase Microsoft Complete. Took an extra ten minutes to purchase separately when I got home....

...BTW, if you live near a Staples, their laptop and tablet coupons often work with Surface devices.
Valid in Staples? U.S. stores only. Excludes clearance items, tablets and Microsoft? Surface. While supplies last. Limit one coupon per customer, nontransferable. Minimum purchase requirement must be met with purchases to which no other coupon or instant savings offer applies. Tax is not included in calculating the minimum purchase. Each item purchased can only be discounted by one coupon, applied by cashier in the order received and prior to tax. Coupon not valid if purchased or sold and must be surrendered. No cash/credit back. Not valid on prior purchases or purchases made with Staples? Procurement or Convenience Cards.
That's strange considering that the disclaimer associated with those coupons say:
Microsoft Store, to buy a new device is a joy. And you should enjoy it
