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.
