Factory Direct doesn't repair the thing, Sony's not going to either, and all you're going to get is store credit. How is that beneficial? Extended warranties offer a false sense of security and all they do is line the merchant's pockets.

I totally agree with you. But for many they are necessity for peace of mind.
I was just mentioning that factory direct warrantees are cheap as these things go for those that purchase warrantees.
I use my Visa that automatically gives me a two year warranty because it does not cost me anything additional. But so far I have had no need to use it, reinforcing your point.
I am not touting factory direct, as I am aware of the no refund policy, but if I feel the price is extremely good I will buy from them.

Edit:BTW they will replace them if they have stock and a credit is better than nothing.
