I stumbled across this list on a video newsgroup and thought some folks here might be able to take advantage of it.
From the site:
Register your new Sony Professional product online anytime until December 31, 2006, and for the following select models, you will receive a 6-month extension on that product's Limited Parts Warranty.*
*This offer of 6-month extension on the limited parts warranty is valid on certain eligible Sony Professional Products purchased between December 1, 2005 and December 31, 2006 which are then successfully registered online at www.sony.com/PRO by December 31st, 2006.

Thanks for the info. The deck I just bought is on that list and I did not buy the Mack warranty with it.

Good to know, the jury is still out on mack wty for me.
I purchesed one for my FX-1 . And sent it in for repair. First I was told turn around time was was about 10-15 working days. After that time had passed and online line it had no change on status since it arrived, I called.
They then told me it is actually 15-20 before they would even be able to get to it. When they fianly did, they called and told me it was liquid damage and not covered.(although the cam has never been wet,I am shootiing around the water alot, so I reallly cant dispute what they found.) I aggreed to the $325.
It will now be another 10-15 days minimum.
My main concerns are it being repaired correctly
(I also have a back focus issue, which I inquired about but they couldnt tell me if the tech had looked at that issue or not)
And the also just being given a little more acurate turn around time. Im fine if it takes +30 days for a repair if I know that when I send it in. I just dont like being told one thing then another several times.
