Xtromaniak, way are you turning this move into 'Microsoft is a lovely company' move?
The high level of 360 failure rates where becoming more and more talked about to the extent Microsoft were worried the bad press could affect their future sales. They aren't extended the warranty because they feel for the consumer whose machine has broken. They're extending it because it will ease the fears of potential 360 purchasers who might otherwise be scared away by the alarming failure rate.
So no, Sony never did offer extended warranties, but then, they never had to. Their problems wasn't as big, and they didn't need to keep potential consumers sweet.
I'm not, you totally missed the whole point of my post(s). Though, it does show that MS is a much more lovely company than Sony. And yes, PS2s did have many problems and a high-****ing fail rate. So don't spin me that garbage.
Congratulations on that one.
