Based upon the information you entered, your unit appears to qualify for the Flat Rate pricing quoted above. Flat Rate pricing does not apply to non-consumer products, units requiring replacement of the display device (such as: projection and TV picture tubes, optical blocks, plasma and LCD panels), any condition resulting from physical abuse, misuse, or excessive wear, units older than seven (7) years from last market date or damage resulting from prior unauthorized service. If, upon examination, it is determined that your unit does not qualify for Flat Rate pricing, then a parts and labor repair quote will be given to you.

I also got the message on the website that my 500 was out of warranty.
My experience with Sony has been easy. I could not print out the label so I called the Sony# and asked if the person knew about the update to the 500. He said he did and he filled out an order to mail me the mailer and another order to provide a work order for the upgrade. It did take about 10 minutes before it was completed and checked but he said everything was fine and ended by giving me a confirmation #.
You might want to try what I did if you have any online problems.
