When the PlayStation 4 launches on November 15th, gamers who will pick up their new shiny console will have an option to purchase a Protection Plan directly from Sony to ensure they are covered in case something breaks.
If you are worried your new PS4 crapping out on you down the road, there’s always a Protection Plan that is available for $49.99. Just like the past protection plans that Sony offered for the PS3, PSP and PS Vita, the one for the PS4 will cover the following; no out-of-pocket expenses for qualified claims, a pre-paid shipping box, and repairs done by a PlayStation certified technicians with genuine PlayStation parts. For accidental damage, simply add ten more bucks.
Please note that Protection Plan kicks in after the one year manufacturer’s warranty runs out.
