Gamers worried about accidentally dropping their PSPs or spilling Red Bull on their PlayStation 3s can rest a bit easier: Sony began offering extended warranties for each on Monday.
The Sony Protection Plan, which are priced up to $59.99 for two years, cover both the PS3 and the PSP. Gamers can also purchase a special “accidental damage” warranty from Sony to cover the PSP, which pays for repairs to a cracked screen.
Sony’s new extended warranties include:
PS3: A one-year extension ($44.99) or a two-year extension ($59.99)
PSP: A one year extension ($29.99) or a two-year extensions ($39.99). The PSP with accidental damage waiver will be priced at $39.99 for a year’s worth of coverage, or $49.99 for two years. Both the PSP-3000 and PSPgo are covered.
“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,” said Glenn Nash, vice president, operations, SCEA, in a statement. “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.”
There’s a catch, though.
