Why it was $80 and I haven't paid a dime more, lol. If I get 2-3 years out of it that's extremely cheap compared to a $20/mo netflix subscription.

If a company has been around for 5 years and offers a lifetime warranty with a good product and another company has been around for 50, but offers only a year warranty I'm going with the newer company.

Even 2 years of warranty is better than 1.
