Do a Google for your state's local sales tax (that's how I check before I'm going to make a major purchase).

GameStop warranties are typically one year and offer a full replacement if your console breaks/stops operating.

I would expect to pay a little over $60 for the extended warranty (Gamestop typically charges a bit over 10% of the total sales price of the console).

My 360 Elite warranty was just under $50 for the year's worth of coverage.

yeah, man you don't need a warranty with the ps3 Sony i believe already gives you a warranty and very reliable customer service. Not to mention the ps3 is a piece of very well made very realible hardware. I really have not heard any claims of a ps3 breaking down or "red lights of death". Save yourself some money or use that money to buy games because you really don't the need the warranty.
