    I just bought a sz660 through amazon for $1440.00, I think it was too good to pass up.Anyways can I buy an extended service plan through sony even though I purchased it from amazon?Also is the sony plan worth the extra $200 bucks for two years of protection?Thanks for the help.

    My Visa card doubles the one-year Sony warranty - if yours does to and you used it for your purchase, that can alleviate the need for an extra extended warranty. I just got my SZ repaired right at the 2-year mark and Visa is paying.

    Anyone know a time frame on purchasing the extended warranty, does it have to be within 30 days of when the computer from amazon?

    It doesn't matter where you purchased the computer, you need at least 30 days left on your original warranty to extend it. I personally bought a 3 year onsite/accidental service plan from a member on this forum for $190 and haven't regretted once.
