As an added layer of protection, I highly suggest buying the system on your credit card. A lot of CCs offer overlapping and additional warranty/replacement protection.

Yes for the most part extended warranties are a huge waste especially regarding the reliability of sony game consoles! However if we were talking about microsoft equipment or lame software it would really be a good idea to atleast consider the investment into a good extended warranty. That's just my opinion though i'm sure others might have other thoughts about this, but for me I've still got a ps one & ps2 that still work like new and both were launch day purchases.

C'mon man! you wanted an 80 or 60 gig with a game and chrome accents. You didn't want to spend less to get a 40gig, you finally get a in-stock link from a reputable place on exactly what you want and you're upset because you have to get 2nd controller (something you'll end up buying anyway). Your going to have to sacrifice one way or the other... A bird in the hand..... A bird in the hand...

trade or sell the 2nd remote here if you don't want it that badly but you'll end up buying one down the line..

Yeah well i was planning on getting the duel shock controllers...i didnt really want 2 sixaxis ones

Would you go with 1 year extended service net replacment plan for 49.99
or 2 year for 99.99

Want want want.

I don't know if you're ESL, but you come off as demanding.

Anyway, go with NEITHER.

As to the Microsoft comment earlier, going with the extended warranty on a 360 would be even worse considering the 360's 3 year warranty.
