Cheap warranty/insurance for games console?

Didn't know where to put this, but mods can move if they so wish.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good cheap warranty or insurance for a games console that also covers accidental damage as I purchased a vita on ebay (new and sealed), but the recommended warranty for it was SquareTrade who only cover faults of a mechanical nature. They don't cover accidental damage for ebay purchases from general ebays (only companies on ebay).
The cheaper the better pf course.

home insurance as a named item?Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Ask them to do it?!0 -
No point as I will be moving within the next year or so, and I want to get my own warranty/insurance for it.0

I've never seen anyone offering insurance or extended warranties for consoles - hardly surprising given how volatile the ps3 and 360 seem to be,0

Quite a few companies offer them but I don't know any recommended ones or cheap ones.0
