Uh til Sony goes bankrupt
or you die
or it's obsolete and you don't care anymore
or you mod it
or you take off security seal sticker
It's about 10-15 bucks to mail it off to Sony if it does die. And even after Sony does repair work on it-it still gets an additional 30 day warranty. Give it some time. I know it stinks having to wait to mod it but consider the price of a new laser-ouch. Best to give it some time. In the time you spend waiting just use that time to save up money for the chip.
