DirtyLarry Veteran Posted June 4, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2010 So I got this email before in my Gmail account. Here is a screenshot in case they take it down or whatever... When you click Learn More it Takes You Here So although I have never had one issue with my PS3, I have been reading more and more comments online that fat PS3's are indeed starting to brick. So is this something I should possibly consider doing for the 2 years? Just curious what others think about this, as honestly just the fact they are sending it as an option, leads me to believe it may indeed be something to consider.

mousestrap0731 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I got this e-mail earlier today too. At first I thought they changed the warranty plan to something like what Microsoft did with the 3 years expansion but it seems that this won't have any effect on older big model PS3s. :( Sending it in for repair would be useless since i've opened it a few times for dusting and thermal replacement out of paranoia. If I recall correctly, they won't repair it if the sticker's been tampered with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeretikSaint Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 This is something I would consider. I would definitely like a comprehensive guide on what it does and does not cover. If it was reasonable, I could see myself spending $60 for a 2 year warranty as my PS3 was bought in 07 and was over $600 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know! :D For the 2 years of me having the system, their cost of repair seems good then. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted June 4, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2010 This is something I would consider. I would definitely like a comprehensive guide on what it does and does not cover. If it was reasonable, I could see myself spending $60 for a 2 year warranty as my PS3 was bought in 07 and was over $600 at the time. Not a comprehensive guide but the major "bullet points" on the web page says the following... Plans include: ? Direct access to PlayStation? Support specialists ? No out-of-pocket expenses for qualified claims ? Pre-paid shipping box ? PlayStation? quality, PlayStation? parts, PlayStation? Service Centers ? Backed by the team that brought you the PlayStation? experience I need to find out exactly what qualified claims means, which it is late for me so heading to bed, but will look into tomorrow.
