Sony offering back-dated extended warrantiesDVDBack23 @ May 04, 2010 16:14 | 9 comments
Using the service you can extend your factory warranty to up to three years, with the first additional year (for the PS3) costing $45. To save money, a two year extension is just $60. Both consoles start with a one-year manufacturers warranty.
For the PSP, the warranty extension is even cheaper, at $30 for the first year or $40 for two years. Additionally, since handheld consoles are very prone to drops and accidents, Sony is offering accidental damage waiver for an additional $10 on the warranty. In two years, if you happen to drop your PSP down a flight of stairs and then accidentally step on it, Sony will replace it.
Says Sony: "The PlayStation brand has long been synonymous with the highest quality in engineering and design, and it's because of the reliability of the PS3 and PSP systems that we can offer the PlayStation Protection Plan. We have heard from consumers that they're interested in an extended service plan that's backed directly by SCEA and leverages our technical expertise. While both the PS3 and PSP systems are designed with future-proof technology and built for long lifecycles, we're looking forward to offering this service to consumers looking for added peace of mind."
You can call 1-866-716-7669 for more information on the program. |

Until lobbying is a hanging offense I choose anarchy!
Ah modern gaming its like modern film only the watering down of fiction and characters is replaced with shallow and watered down mechanics, gimmicks and shiny-er "people". http://zippydsmlee.wordpress.com/ |

Comment by: KillerBug (May 05, 2010 02:49) I guess it beats paying $150 to have them fix it...then again, this warranty does not go back far enough to cover the really buggy units. |
