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)
  • I don't have home insurance as it's not my house, it's my parents.

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

    I've never seen anyone offering insurance or extended warranties for consoles - hardly surprising given how volatile the ps3 and 360 seem to be,
  • Quite a few companies offer them but I don't know any recommended ones or cheap ones.
