OH SNAP VIDEO GAMES

Technology these days to amazing, no question about it. With new recent breakthroughs in the form of the new iPhone being able to recognise voice recognition to the new announcement that Microsofts Project Natal for the Xbox 360 is set to have full body motion sensing capabilities with no wires and nothing plugged into you in any way at all.

However, what happens when a part inside breaks? Sometimes when you have to send your gadgets off for repair, it can cost more to repair it than it did to buy it initially. A large number of cases is never down to the user, normally it’s because the product wasn’t made correctly to begin with. Although the Xbox 360 is a powerful console in which critics have named so far the best console of the new generation it does fail in one major thing. The 3 red rings. Now to any Xbox 360 owner, when they see the three red rings, it’s just the same as handing your wallet over to a thief. Unless you are still within your warranty you are looking at paying at least 50 to have to send it off to be repaired for a problem that should not have been there in the first place.

It was very rare if one of your older consoles ever broke like the N64 or Playstation 1, but now we are not just seeing Xbox 360 failures, a large amount of PS3’s and Nintendo Wii’s are also being sent away to be fixed. This rise could be put down to more people playing their consoles due to the massive amount of game releases, however, it could just be that manufacturers are more interested in making sales, rather than making healthy consoles.

There is now a solution to this that helps you save money, gadget insurance. You can protect for 20 pound each month and that will allow you to cover any 5 of your chosen gadgets. It may seem a high price to pay, but it works out alot cheaper than having to pay for gadget repairs. The primary reason is because the cost to repair gadgets, if you dropped your iPhone, you would get given a 100 pound repair bill. So if you think about it, having to 20 pound each month to protect your 5 gadgets is not as pad as having to pay 100 pound to repair something that you can break over and over again. Also, when it comes to repairing gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, they can charge you up to 180 pounds for the repair, making it cheaper to buy a new console.

Of course if it is just the one product you want to insure, even if it’s not a gaming console, you can simply pay for iPod insurance on its own. Unfortunately, a large number of home emergency Insurance policies don’t cover any damage or theft to your gadgets.
