does the ps3 have some kind of warranty from sony like microsoft has the 2 year warranty for $60 for their x360, and if sony does can u guys tell me how much. thanks in advance
A 1 year free warranty. You can purchase additional insurance from whatever store you buy it from. (i know EB sells it but the others are just my speculation)

Well yea, that's common sense. That's why you can buy additional insurance and it's not that expensive, 2 or 3 additional yrs i think, don't remember price tho, sorry
I bought my warranty from the stroe to exchange there, but i wouldn't be surprised if sony has an extended warranty, however you'll have to contact sony for that. Are u purchasing it from ebay or something, cuzz, there might be complications that im unawre of pertaining the warranty policy (extended)
it's on the playstation website 1 year but beware...sony has the option to give you a new OR refurbished unit should yours break down i would recommend getting the store warranty if you are paranoid about system failure and want to exchange it for a brand new unit

4th... wow. That's a lot even for the 360. But don't mistake it with the PS3. However, go with the advise from the guy above, get best buy's extended war. As great as the PS3 seems you can never be sure...
Sont gives you one warrenty when you buy the console. Another warrently from the store give you up to 3 years depending on where you buy it. I bought mine at EB and I got a year for $60. I'm not sure about other stores. I have a friend who got one and a warrently for 2 years for like $90; I think.
be very careful, i remember when i got my PS2 at launch and that whole disk read error fiasco. the 1 year limited warranty's didn't cover the fact that they would just stop playing games and dvds for no reason at all. And the PSP had that dead pixel thing too which Sony did nothing about..... be VERY careful when buying a Sony product within the launch window. Sorry if i sound a little bias but after getting screwed out of 300 dollars on my ps2 i was left with little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Buyer beware!

i think they might fix somethings for free, like the ps2 disc read error (reason being, they were sued and lost over; thats why theyd fix that for free).
Sony Computer Entertainment America ("SCEA") warrants to the original purchaser that the PS3TM hardware shall be free from material defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase (the "Warranty Period").
