Some swear by extended warranties, others swear at them:

I'm a "pay-as-you-go" sort of guy, and in the long run, I have come out way ahead to NOT buy the warranties. But I can afford pay out of pocket to fix or replace the occasional gizmo that fails (most DON'T fail within the terms of an extended warranty). If an out-of-warranty failure would be catastrophic to you, the warranty might buy you peace of mind.
