I purchased the PS5 via Sony Direct and I am looking into protection plans. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's called warranty.

Yeah same here. Maybe they will have an option later?

If something were to happen, how would we play all of these exclusives? It's just smart to protect your gaming options. Imagine having to pass on games?

I always get one on my electronics. Did the same for my PS4 pro and Xbox One X. Rather be safe than sorry.

I always skip warranties. My logic is:
1. If I got them for every gadget, car etc. I buy I'd spend way more on those over time than fixing/replacing the few things that end up breaking after the default warranty is up.
2. Most lemon's die early on and still within the year or whatever warranty.
3. I've never gotten use out of the few extended warranties I did buy in the past (nothing broke).
4. It seems like the console holders are pretty good about fixing/replacing broken consoles even after the warranty for a mostly reasonable fee (at least way cheaper than buying a new one) and I imagine that will be more so with the shift to focusing so much on subscriptions, digital game sales etc. as they'll want to keep people spending money in their ecosystem vs. walking away disgruntled and maybe going to a competitor.
Everyone has their own comfort zone, disposable income etc. of course. Consoles aren't a big blow to my budget so I can roll the dice on shelling out for a repair or replacement anyway.

That goes for any launch hardware in my experience they are the most defective and in my area have a messily 1 year warranty. Got one for my series x.
