Well, I can say that is more than SONY ever did for me when my launch PS2 got the dreaded disc read error. After about 3 months of use. All I heard from SONY was "Sorry, go buy another one"

Sorry to hear that. I think you got a bad Customer Service Rep, because I have a few friends that had their launch PS2s replaced for free, nearly 2 years AFTER their warranties expired. They only needed to pay for shipping, and the caveat was that the ps2s had not been tampered with (meaning that the little "void if removed" stickers were still intact, which they were.)
