I've had 2 PS3's since my first purchase slightly after release. The first one died almost 2 years in, not even taking the best care of it. I think I moved twice in that span. Always had my intercooler on it in those early PS3 days, you'd be stupid not to. Now my 2nd PS3 is running smooth after years still. Oh and my first one was replaced through the best buy warranty I purchased at the time of purchase. You'd be pretty stupid to purchase an expensive system and not buy the in store warranty and hope to only rely on the manufactures warranty, although it is quite good and quite reliable. You must be throwing your PS3's off of rooftops. Or you just fail at life. My guess... All of the above.

LOL, actually its the other way around, always purchasing warranty on your stuff will result in a much higher price than paying for the reparation you may encounter. In store warranty is about 50% profit, trust me ;). You would be better off not taking them, unless your unable to leave a couple of hundreads in your bank account to take care of reparation if problems arise. Sure if I would be selling you an appliance right now I wouldnt have the same speech ;) lol.

yeah but then again $500 in repairs in 9 months is a bit less than a store warenty.
