Sony offers no worldwide warranty service for its Vaios at all.  It's 
country-specific only.  Their justification, when asked, is to claim 
that the video stuff included in the Vaios makes it impossible. because 
of differing standards.

Funny how every other mfr can manage to deal with this.  My new 
Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P series, eg, with built-in DVD drive, CD 
burner, etc.

And it can also take a month to get a Vaio serviced in the UK.  
Apparently all the work is done in the Netherlands...
