The Edge Soft

Technology within the last decade has grown increasingly to become amazing. 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 it breaks down or you drop it? Sometimes it can cost nearly as much as you paid for the item just to send it off for repair which is where companies are going wrong. A lot of the time it is their fault for not making the product as good as it should have been to begin with. Despite the Xbox 360 being the best console to have in this current console generation, it’s been found to have had one major flaw. The three red rings. To any Xbox 360 owners, seeing the red rings is horrible because you basically have to hand over your wallet. The only way to not pay for a repair is if your console is still within warranty, if not, you will have to ship it off and they will charge you around 50 pound for a problem that should not be a problem.

This never used to happen with older consoles like the N64 or the Playstation 1, however, now the problem is becoming more widespread. We are seeing more and more Playstation 3’s and Nintendo Wii’s being sent off, as well as the normal flow of Xbox’s. 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 a solution to this and it comes from gadget insurance. This can be bought for up to 5 of any gadgets and it will set you back only 20 pound a month. The price may seem slightly high, but if you consider having to pay for just one gadget to be repaired each month, you would end up paying more. 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 look at it from that perspective 20 a month for insuring five gadgets is a better deal than having to pay 100 for something that you could drop again and again. Also, for fixing items like a Nintendo Wii, they tend to charge you more money than you actually paid for the console to begin with.

Also, if you are only looking to insure one item and not 5, no matter what type of gadget it is, you can simply pay for iPod insurance on its own. Unfortunately, a large number of home emergency insurance policies don’t cover your modern day gadgets.
