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. 

Taking extented warranty on every device you purchase would result in way more than 500$. The average say your paying 50%-60% on your extended warranty in store profit, thats a fact. Youre better not take any and pay for your reparation when you need too. Between, I was actually defending you, he said you were stupid to not get any warranty.

Yeah he was wrong to call me stupid also since I bout it used on ebay so no warenties there.  Plus even if it had been a year long warenty to begin with it would have been fine.  Yes I agree getting warenties on everytihng would cost more than I could posibly save.  But it would make some sence on a ps3 depending on the price I pay for it and how long it covers.  Then again had I bought it new with a warenty.  I would have payed 540 for the system in 2007 plus another 300 for the 6 games that I had with it plus however much the warenty would have been so close to $900 for all that I got.  I payed $440 for it all so a savings of $460 -$324 for the repairs and I'm still up by $136 if I had baught it all new with a warenty.   Now even if I had had the warenty would it have covered all the times the system died?  The first one was within 2 years of getting the system.  The secend one was just past that and the 3rd is 90days after.  So if after each repair it were to have extended the warenty a bit I wouldn't have paid a thing for repairs.  If it were to stop a 2 years no matter what I'd be out the money for 1 repair anyway and 2 if I weren't able to have gotten sony to be nice for this 3rd one.
