I live in Greece, and while I am waiting for my i5 to come, I decided to purchase the AppleCare for it through my company. I live in Aigio, which is about 1.5 hours from Athens, which is where the service center is for Apple. So thats not a problem. I also purchased my MB from the US mid-2009, so it still has a little left on its warranty. I am curious if someone knows if I could purchase the AppleCare for the MB, and send it to the service center here in Greece, even though it was purchased in the states. The company I purchased it from in the States offered me an extra years warranty since they took over a month to ship my MB, but it would be over 100 euros to ship it back to the States, and it would probably take months before I saw it again. Thoughts/opinions?
Got a tip for us?

That is what I am going to end up doing. I just received the AC for the iMac I havent received yet. I will order the AC for my MB in a month or so. Its 180 euros here in Greece, so I am wondering if its better off if I get it from the States.
180 euros is about $250. The challenge is going to be to find a reputable US company who will sell it to you (shipped - you'll need the box as proof of purchase) for less than $250 (to make it worth your while).
