PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to purchase a PlayStation 3 Protection Plan for 25 percent off the original price. Sony Computer Entertainment America says this represents the continued goal of providing Plus subscribers with exclusive offerings and greater value.
The Protection Plan, an extended service plan for PS3 and PSP systems, was introduced earlier this year. It allows owners to purchase additional one or two years of coverage. The plan features free shipping, no hidden fees or deductibles and utilization of OEM parts and service technicians.
Plus subscribers will be able to purchase a two-year PS3 plan for $49.99 (original price $59.99). The standard one-year plan (for non Plus subscribers) is $49.99, meaning you can get two years for the price of one if you subscribe to Plus. The catch, so to speak, is that your PS3 must still be within its one-year original manufacturer’s warranty.
