People were abusing the system by signing up, and then getting their console replace the same week, then getting rid of the service. If they had a problem, they would sign up for another month and repeat. Essentially it is the same as an extended warranty in the US, except you are paying on a month-by-month basis instead of an upfront $50 for 2 years or whatever. Really, they should either just axe the program and replace it with an upfront when you buy program, or they should make it so you have to be signed up for 1 full month before you can send it in if they don't want it to be abused. However, with the second method, I would still abuse it as I'd gladly wait 1 month to save over $100. The only effective way to not have it be abused is to go with method 1. |
It should definitely be the upfront method, Thats what I did with my PS3, 360 and PSP. And they could go one step further and say you have up until the end of the Manufacturers Warranty to buy the extended plan, kinda like cars have in the US.
