Extended Warrenty???

rgd: sorry to cause more precipitation on your parade, but the warranty is likely bogus unless the warrantor is SONY, not your retailer. -cfb

rgd: for your sake, i truly hope you are correct in your assumption. sorry, but i'm not a licensed canadian barrister. hard enuf just keeping up with my usa legal specialties. -cfb

for 13 years, i worked as an attorney and manager for the u.s. federal trade commission. one of the most frequent questions our paralegals received was: "are extended warranties worth buying"? the standard answer was: "no, unless they are offered directly by the manufacturer." still true. as others have said, they are really disguised extra profit margins. just like "credit life" policies offered by mortgage companies. -cfb

rgd: i am iunaware of sony having such stores in my area of the usa. they did operate a "service center" close to where i live but they closed that and all others just last year. -kelly
