Since September 2005, Game has offered a manufacturer’s warranty extension on “home” and “mobile” games consoles. This 2-year extension is sold as an option to game console buyers. A good way for Game of boosting its mark-up on sales of these products.
In 2006, this extension has been supplemented with a theft and accidental damage cover which also applies to second hand games consoles. This is also available in the Spanish Games boutiques. When the high standard game console Play Station 3 was launched, a specific warranty extension has been designed – the console is replaced in case of failure -.
