Sony extended service warranty

For those that are interested, the 5 year extended warranty is less than $320. You need to buy it from SONY less than 11 months from the date of purchase. It covers everything except the lamp! I bought my KDF 60XS955 on 1/21/05 and I was told by the SONY guy that today (12/20/05) is the last day that I can buy the extended warranty which I did! ;)

How much less than $320? Most 'plans' or extensions that INCLUDE lamps cost $350-400. And most lamps cost at least $200 if you don't have a warranty to cover them. But most are 3 or 4 years plans, not 5.


Is this a 'true' Sony extended warranty? The one's offered on the sonystyle.com website are underwritten by Service Net Solutions, not Sony.

I know GE is another warranty provider that many manufacturers use for extensions.


Another consideration, whether it's a manufacturer warranty or an after-market plan, they all basically use and/or recommend the same service centers. Hopefully the warranty can be cancelled if you change your mind. (most can within 30 days) or with a pro-rated refund after 30 days. And will it replace your entire display in case of 3+ repairs?...some do. Just food for thought.
