Sony Refuses To Warranty PS3-UPDATE-THE CALL!!!

Staples has a new warranty like that. You can buy the normal extended warranty for your laptop, but you can also add a second "special" extended warranty over the first, and now you're not only covered for hardware failures, but also for accidents. You're nearing the end of your warranty and your laptop is now obsolete and useless to you? Bash it with a hammer, get a certain credit value out of it and buy a new laptop. Of course, you need to substract the price of the warranty out of that credit to know exactly how much you saved on your new laptop, if you even did.
Which was probably what it cost to make a new one and ship it.
Maybe this will work for you? I would say it's worth a shot.
But, uh, it's really disappointing seeing Sony treat people like this, especially customers. It really kind of makes you want their company to collapse under the weight of it's own incompetence.
No, Sony really IS the exception here.
Retail warranties maybe hard to get, but manufacturer warranties are generally not this dificult. The manufacturer generally DOES NOT assume theft until proven otherwise.
You might want to check out the Sales Thread then. I have a feeling you might like what you see there.

As an aside, a lamination machine uses heat to melt the plastic together.
It is a REALLY BAD IDEA to laminate a thermal paper.

Laminating thermal receipts = BLACK PAPER! If you apply heat (used to fuse the laminate sheets) to thermal paper it will turn black. DO NOT DO THIS!
However, if you have a longer than 1 year warranty and wish to save those receipts, photocopy them (or stick them in your MFC and copy them) using ink on normal paper, then staple the receipt to it so you have both in the same place. If they do not accept photocopies, you also have the original (which may or may not be faded) to prove it's not fake, but also to show that the original has since faded.

Sorry, I was actually looking at the top of the tree, and reacting based on that.
My apologies entirely, but if I might make a suggestion, pruning the crazy out of your quote trees would cut down on confusion in the future.
Fish are food, not friends.
Bitching will get you everywhere.
Then we agree...
WTF are you talking about? That's what the serial number is for if reported stolen. Guess what? Using the serial number, Sony can look up the purchase date and location to confirm warranty eligibility thanks to Nintendo's SIRIS system that they signed up for. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc all signed up to this to enforce their warranty periods and return policies and ELIMINATE the receipt loophole of just buying a new one to exchange or warrant the old one. The SIRIS system is supposed to confirm that it is within warranty period all by itself and take the receipt out of the picture, and yet Sony is refusing to warrant it based on the receipt. THIS IS INTOLERABLE. SIRIS also promotes the consumer features, many unimplemented, such as being able to return to any store or obtain a receipt reprint from any store. It isn't a tool for cheating the consumer!
A receipt proves nothing. Just like the console or the box, the receipt could be stolen too. SIRIS is proof of purchase just the same. Bias?! You need to get off the Sony horn-tooting train and wise up to the realities of your favorite corporate theives.
If you were banned, how are you back?
It was of the temporary variety. Frankly, I don't find it very kosher that he came in here to blame this thread.
True. It really was his own doing that got him banned.
And we're surprise by his maturity at blaming something else for his banning, why?
