    That's exactly what i ordered, Hoy. I would go for it, except be wary about the fact that they're having processing issues in their warehouse. My vaio is a week late in shipping and it's still being processed. But don't let that deter you because this might only be the case for people who ordered in july.

    Also you can get 150 off if you get the 2 year accidental damage + 2 accessories.. so it's basically like adding accidental damage warranty for half price
