Game doing £34.99 3 year warranty for 360.

Channard

Game are now doing in-store extended warrantees for consoles they sell. I can't remember how much the PS3 warranty was, but it's £34.99 for the 360. Which basically covers accidental damage and breakdown for two years after manufacturers warranty. Not sure if it covers accidental damage during the first year, but details are in store.

My 360's been replaced once so far and I've swapped out the fans so if it does break down, given it's out of warranty and has been opened, I couldn't pay to get it fixed anyway. If it does conk out and I need a new one I may consider getting this. Especially if I can get one of the rumoured new cooler-running 360s.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this price? It seems fairly decent for a product of this cost, and it's certainly less than Microsoft's own which costs sixty quid for two extra years. I admit, you are paying money for something you may never use, but given the rumoured higher than average failure rates of 360 it seems like better value than most. Is it worth it?

EDIT: You do, of course, have to buy the 360 from Game though you apparently have 30 days to get the warranty.
