Extended warranty SLT A77

[dikda639042]

I am on the point of puchasing a SLT A77 with grip etc to use with Minolta lenses and have tried without success to enquire about extended warranty costs and availability. The Sony site is not helpful and refers to serVIPlus about which I can find nothing useful. I would be grateful for some guidance please.

Just gave my local Sony centre a call, this is what they came back with : -

Alpha Body only (Up to £800 value)

Extra 1 year warranty (2 year's total) - £35,00

Extra 2 year warranty (3 year's total) - £50.00

Alpha Body only (Between £801 and £1,000 value)

Extra 1 year warranty (2 year's total) - £45.00

Extra 2 year warranty (3 year's total) - £50.00

To be honest, I think these are pretty good rates when you consider Curry's wanted to charge me £250 for a 5 year warranty on a 32" TV!

Hope this helps.

Just called Sony and have been told this product (extended warranty) is no longer available. Just spent a lot of money on A 77 and won't have the money to replace if it fails out of warranty. Any suggestions?

I wonder what Sony is up to! Surely if they had faith in their product they would be wanting to offer an extra warranty, (at an extra charge), because they would feel safe in the knowledge they will not have to pay out on it?
