Sony revealed a way to extend your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable’s warranty earlier this year with the PlayStation Protection Plan. You can now easily purchase the plan for your PS3 through the PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Plus members can even receive a discount.
The plan comes in one- or two-year varities costing $44.99 and $59.99, respectively. Plus members will be able to get the two-year plan at a 25% discount, meaning you’ll pay $44.99, effectively giving you two years for the price of one. Among the features a protection plan provides are free shipping on repairs and no fee for qualified claims.
You can’t apply the plan to any older PS3 systems, so that precious backwards-compatible 60GB unit is almost certainly not eligible. Only systems that are still within their original one-year warranty can have a PlayStation Protection Plan applied to them.
