The exception to this rule is, Laptop Computers. I kill mine in 2-3 years, and even if they survive that long, they need new keyboards and new thises and thats.
The one time I didn't get one, the first time, I ended up stuck for the cost of a new mother board. I ended up just buying a new one, but if I'd had the warranty I'd have got a new one for no extra cost.
The time I had The Lemon, I ended up with a brand-new Vaio in year 3, for free.
I buy the 4-year, and by year 3 am using it, then in year 4 I make sure all's well before the warranty expires, with a checkup and any new parts that need fixing.
I've had this machine for a year and the keys are already starting to wear down. New keyboard will be in the cards in another year, for sure. And the graphics ae starting to act a bit odd. As I said, I kill laptops. Warranties are like life insurance--they save me thousands.

Otherwise, nope, don't bother.
