It probably is. I have a good warantee on it back home in the US, but nothing I can do here.

Maybe not, Sony has outlets all over Europe, although they do seem to separate the three "territories", it wouldn't hurt to contact Sony US and see if there's anything they can get the Euro division to do for you if you are here for a while.

I guess I should just go somewhere and buy a new computer tomorrow?

I'd call Sony first, but new laptop would probably be worth it for the quick fix if you are an MS/HS player missing out on $$$$ by not playing, or just baller [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would probably make a point of asking about global warranty, since you will obv. be returning to the US with it at some point - Maybe Apple / Dell / Lenovo would be good in this regard? I really have no idea, but I'd expect some form of global business-class warranty from at least one of those three.
